2022 From the series Por tierra, mar y aire (By Land, Sea and Air) 24 Clay tablets
"With the aid of memories I keep from the homes I have inhabited, I trace their floor plans and compile a database with information about the residences and their inhabitants. Some data I take directly from my memory, while others I reconstruct from experiences, circumstances, or comparisons between one home and another; there are also some gaps.
To shape this journey through my memory, I employ the technique of cuneiform writing on clay tablets, as used by the ancient Sumerian people. This technique involves making incisions with a stylus on a wet clay tablet held in the hand.
To transfer the information from the database to the tablets, I design certain graphic symbols and employ notation systems compatible with the technique (Freemason cipher and Roman, Mayan, and Cistercian numerals). In this way, I aim for each tablet to be recognized at a glance as an object, observed in detail as a painting, or read as a document; whether in an intuitive or reasoned manner, finding keys in the context formed by the tablets and in personal experiences as an inhabitant.
The artwork consists of 24 clay tablets of varying sizes, with the largest being approximately postcard-sized and the smallest akin to a credit card.
