the third act

Embracing a new chapter and starting my third act in life through art. It's incredible how art allows for constant growth and exploration, so here I am, using all my time, energy and creativity to make "things." What things? I am not sure yet, whatever makes me happy the most!

20 years of working on stone sculpture, I was drained on what to create next, it was time to change to another media.

I started a blacksmithing course at Dallas college in 2023 and I got the bug... Metal has my full attention these days. The difference between working with stone versus metal is: with stone you are married to it, you have to study the veins, cracks and then negotiate what it is going to be. If something doesn't go well, the stone breaks. Metal, you "bully into" what you need it to be! No media is better than the other, I still love stone for what is: a natural material created by mother earth, ready to be turned into a piece of art.

My next step is to blend metal and stone, specially if I can use scraps of metal and stones that are going to the landfill. After all, this is the time for reuse, repurpose, and recycle.
