La Caja del Pino Grande (Artist Statment)

La Caja del Pino Grande is reminiscent of a decomposing sarcophagus with a lid resembling a landscape. The sculpture sits in waiting within a space that is inspired by the tomb shafts in Western Mexico. This installation is intended to evoke questions of passage: death, rebirth, and to explore the range of perspectives that we might choose to engage these thoughts.
