Yes, stone matters...

5.17.2010 Four dimension planet

Solid wood planet host of four examples of beauty in our planet. Four dimensions to get lost in...

5.10.10 new ideas

I've been thinking of this idea for a while, so, i got meself a printer and started working on a selection of my own pictures to put in the background of some of my pieces. this is the first execution. i took this picture at the Tudors garden in Georgetown. I love the dog and how the sun falls into the grass. In the beginning i was having some issues with what to do so i wouldn't overshadow the picture... anyway, here it is, and i feel this is the beginning of a whole new phase.

4.17.10 My Wall

I love how art and nature change the way we see things. i remember when this wall was just a wall, plain, dull wall. Now it is the host of such precious little things. this are most of the pieces i've created in the past four months. that is how long i've been playing with them. i like the way they look together.

4.17.10 Trapped leaves series

Here is the second piece of my trapped leaves series. I wasn't sure of doing another trapped leaf, i thought it may be a little of repetition, but, Mr. enoughforall advised me that it wasn't repetition, it is a series, and i liked that. So here it is. i love this kind of leaves, they kept their green color and their consistency is hard, they are great to work with.

4.5.10 Compartments

This is the first execution of this idea i've had for a while; Compartments.

And the possibilities for different scenarios are infinite...

What do you think is happening here...?

4.4.10 Trapped Reminiscences

I've collected reminiscences of autumn, little pieces of the puzzle of nature. I've captured this reminiscences just to make them live again... Now spring is here, and a whole universe of possibilities is coming to life once again. This piece makes me wish i could trap all the reminiscences of lost yesterdays.

3.21.10 Nature's fire

Nature fire, fake fire, leaf fire. the idea of this piece came to me thru the shadows, i kept visualizing the shadows when i was working on it. when i glued the first leaves i thought they could be wings... then it just went somewhere else... trying to work with different shapes and forms.

3.9.10 Multiple Suns in the Horizon

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, so i decided to stop talking about it and start figuring out how to work it out. So, my so called "suns" i have used before, but now i'm using a different perspective, upside down, they are hanging like they did back when they belonged to the tree. I really hope the stay there...

3.3.10 Spiraling away

Life is an spiral, i think, life goes around in a spiral way, and even time is not a flat line like everybody use to think, it's an spiral, follows its spiral course to a dramatic division of fragments of time, that then we store in our memories and we call the past, which continuously visit us in our reminiscences. Just a thought. I love this piece because it took me a good amount of time to finish it, so it has a lot of thought. the twirly thingys i used before i think and i cut them from a green branch that had dangerous thorns. It was a little hard to take the right pic, there is so much detail that the camera doesn't get.

3.2.10 Dualism

I wonder where does creativity go when it goes away... does it go on vacations to some exotic island or does it go to the mountains... does it comes back with a killer tan, or it comes back with gifts for the family... i just wonder, i wonder of endless days that go by with nothing to them... it makes me wonder and at the same time it worries me, but at the end of the day i guess we just have to keep trying to live one day at a time. i just hope that if creativity has to go somewhere sometime, it doesn't take too long to come back. this piece makes me think of the dualism of life.

2.23.10 Dream like imagery

Is really interesting to witness all the different stages of the snow. How magical it is when falling, how it can transform landscapes, how it can reflect the blue sky... and many more, but, what happen to it all when melting down.. it is slowly gone...

2.14.10 after snow arboretum

It was a cold winter day, the wind was crazy! we had to walk backwards for a while, so the wind wouldn't freeze our faces. But we loved it. The contrast of the branches against the deep blue sky is one of my favorites, i was also exploring b/w and i really like it, looks like a painting. I'm loving the snow, it has gave us a whole new different perspective of things.

2.8.10 Coldness

Here are some of my favorite shots of the "nieve everywhere" series.

2.7.2010 Nieve everywhere part two

Lovely night walk around ella's and then beautiful day at the mall, thanks Mateo for being such a great guide...

2.6.2010 Nieve everywhere part one

It's been an awesome winter!! I don't even remember how many inches of snow we got in DC, but it was a lot... I've enjoy the snow like never before. Here is part one of my "Nieve everywhere" series. The whole video editing is still a new thing for me, but i'm learning and i'm exited to share with everybody!!

2.3.10 Opera singers..

These two are a couple of the funniest i've made. Personally i think they are opera singers, but then again they could be anybody, you or me.... I love the frame one, well i love the frame itself, i pondered on the idea of making my own frames, but it quite don't really work with the stone ones, so, i guess i'll leave it alone for now. The other one, is a weird one, the idea came from doing something with all those wonderful shells kind of thingys. I really wanted to have something coming out of it, so there it is. I think it kind of works. I think once again i'm using the change of perspective of small to big and vice-versa.

1.31.10 And who is that?

Just there, under a canopy of dead branches. I've been exploring different ways of arranging the stones. and trying to use stones that have weird shapes. this is one of the first ones. I think it looks like a person, uuumm, or something...

1.25.10 Strangers

Strangers yet the same...

1.25.10 Today's wonders

Today was a wonderful monday, i've come to realize that monday may be my favorite day of the week, and it might make sense, i was born in a monday.. oh well. Seancito and I had a lovely day. I thought the sky was gonna explode, it was the perfect medley of dark and light clouds with a deep blue sky. Couldn't help myself and took 1000 pictures. I wish every day was a monday...

1.23.10 Smallness

Small and to some people insignificant little pieces of nature. It's very refreshing and instantly rewarding to walk around between the trees and just find this little treasures. The curly thingys on the left i found them in some weird bright green branches that had thorns.

1.17.10 Last leaf standing

I love how thru nature one is able to find analogies to almost all aspects of life. this is the last triumphant leaf standing. what it means? again, i don't know. it could mean it all, or nothing at all. But the truth is that every day, every waken hour i keep finding pieces of my life reflected in nature, then transcribed into these pieces of art.

1.16.10 Warriors from another realm

In a different realm they would be warriors, in a different reality they are powerful beings with some magical powers... so calm, still and quiet.

1.15.10 Stones in a bottle

I've had this idea in me head for a while now. i wanted to fill a bottle with small stones and maybe other things like soil or sticks or leaves, it is still a in a early stage, i guess i'll keep waiting for the right ideas... for now this is what it is.
