Installation view of three works left to right: Reciprocation / Morbid Relief, No Oracles, No gracias, Quasi-socialist rhetoric, and Hermanitas for Koik Contemporary's show "Hard Time Holding Silence," November 2022. 

These images depict an installation of three sculptures that are meant to be viewed together as a cohesive whole for this installation but also work as discrete objects. The last two images are of a pair of objects considered one artwork.

The largest vessel form, titled Reciprocation / Morbid Relief, is a ceramic sculpture with a drip system that releases water onto a gourd bowl on the ground. To the right of this piece is another ceramic vessel, titled No Oracles / No Gracias, which is filled with guajillo peppers grown on the artist's grandfather's ranch in Zacatecas. The third form, connected to the others through a found and dysfunctional pressure valve, is made of ceramic and features natural rubber tubing and hair from my niece coming out of its neck. It is titled Quasi-Socialist Rhetoric.

Medium: Ceramic, hair, natural rubber, found hose, brass hardware, water, gourd, metal ring, pressure valve, ethernet cable, guajillo chilies, door peephole, beeswax, and casting wax, among others.
