Years back, I began working on pieces that I refered to as shrines. My goal was to create highly spiritual works that draw from those intimate home chapels or sacred spaces found across the world from india to latin america… My first piece drew from the almost kitchy religious icons of hispanic-Americans. The process was a wholescale multimedia project using everything from traditional paint media to photoshop to found art. The end result was an abstract and highly emotive work of the iconic Virgin Mary of Catholic tradition and the dying Jesus on the cross.
My second “shrine” was a smaller work utilizing a broken MP3 player and other found art to convey a feeling of how in modern society ipods and cds have become as ubiquitous as prayer beads and religious works.
I will hopefully dig some photographs of the piece and post it soon.
Lately, I’ve wanted to revisit this theme of spirituality and “Shrine creation”. I figured I would take photographs of the entire process from beginning to end. Here are the first few beginnings of what will hopefully be a wonderful completed work.

Cheers all!
Sorry about the lack of updates!!! Since my digital camera broke… it makes taking pictures of new works difficult… but I’m working on it… in the meanwhile….
I just wanted to share some photos and info about the “Just Art” show at GaleriaZero in Barcelona, Spain. Canvis Nous 1, 08003 . The show is a group exhibition featuring contemporary works in a variety of media by artists around the world. If you are in Spain… Go see the exhibition – October 2nd thru 23rd located at Canvis Nous 1, 08003 Barcelona, Spain in the El Borne neighborhood.
GaleriaZero is located in the oldest part of Barcelona – the famous centre El Borne. Only 500m from the Picasso Museum and neightbour of the famous church Santa Maria del Mar. The gallery is at walking distance from the port, the Villa Olimpica and is near to the main government buildings. The gallery has a programme of monthly individual and collective exhibitions of basically abstract and innovative contemporary art. Also video-art, photography , performance and installations form part of the exhibition programme. Besides, the gallery is very active to promote its artists internationally.
