The title is a play on “Rebel Without A Cause” by James Dean and “Rebel Without A Pause” by Public Enemy. In this case an interest edible structures and three legged cats lead us to this perfect title.”

“Anti-trespassing configurations”
“When an object that does not belong is inserted into an every day scene, the ordinary elements warrant a closer look. I photograph compositions which evoke the strangeness latent in reality. I like to explore these instances, and come back to different landscapes. I am often drawn to those in Mexico, where the soda bottles that cover the rebar of fragmented homes, evidence for the hope of building a second floor. The dividing edges filled with crushed bottles, resonate with the alternatives used to reach safety, a beautiful but threatening sight.”

“Celebration is a funeral for old ideas. The ones you come back to over and over until they are fleshed out, or not. This book turns those images to stone, solidifying them in whatever state they were found. A proper burial…”

Riot Labels
“This print is part of a larger project titled “Bloodlines”. These hand printed silk screens were run in a small edition and some were used as labels for bottles and vessels used to adorn art objects in a sculptural installation and a series of photographs.
“The labels and text were rendered in a loose gestural form in the spirit of the hands of artists such as Dubuffet and the content inspired by the graffiti of the Paris protests in May 1968.”

” I brought a set of printing blocks to the site (often on the sidewalk) in my shoeshine box. I waited for people to hire me to make a print for them. I worked for free. We would work together on the print. The person would sit in a chair, while I worked on my knees, inking up the blocks and getting everything ready. The person would step on each block to press it into the paper, leaving an impression. The person could choose a series of images to create a narrative, and sometimes people would tell me stories or things about their lives. When it was finished, the person would take the print and go on their way.” »

“numbness and tingling” - print
“In my mixed media, sculpture and installation work, the recurrent subject matter has been the body, especially fragmented body parts, acting as receptacles for storytelling.
I am using the memory of observed and experienced events especially those from my childhood and from the news, for creating installations.
Besides, I explore the notion of trace that indicates the existence of others and my own. Trace also shows the passing of time. Many of my projects suggest the course of time as they examine memories, past actions or incidents, and events that happened at a specific and recorded time.
In my practice, I have a strong interest in the handmade process. I have used several materials such as clay, papier-mâché (I make my own paste using flour, salt and water), fabric, wood, paper, plaster and chicken wire among others. In addition, I am also often drawn to natural materials, available in the every day life.”
