Abiquiu Series

Why?
Well, I live in New Mexico...
and these are archetypal Southwestern forms.

Abiquiu I

(Skull)

2026

Aluminum, Acrylic paint, Plywood

15 3/4" x 11 3/4" x 2 7/8"

Is there a more ubiquitous

form in the Southwest

than a sun-bleached

cow skull?

(In this case,

a skull's form

burned red by the sun.)

Abiquiu II

(Calla)

2026

Copper, Acrylic paint, Plywood

15 3/4" x 11 3/4" x 2 7/8"

The Calla Lily has been

the subject of Southwestern

artists - mainly painters -

for many years,

over and over.
