Hide

1997
Manipulated aluminum
8 x 10 Inches
Collection of Mexicarte Art museum, Austin, Texas

Created for The Retablo Show at the Mexic-arte Art Museum in Austin. Aluminum sheets were given to artists who were asked to make retablos with them. I tortured and patinad my piece to resemble a strip of hide as referenced by the religeon that inspired the retablo. Another was produced in 1996 as an acid etched relief of The Shroud of Turin.
