About the Item

This piece was created through a process of staining the canvas with layers of oil paint and natural pigments locally sourced in Mexico, such as Cempasúchil flower and Cochineal. It was made in Oaxaca, Mexico, and explores ideas of antiquity and shared history, especially those of the relationships between humankind and nature. This piece depicts a triceratops fossil and brain with subtle outlines of buildings and a flying vehicle inside - imagining a distant future, far ahead of its time.
