Growing up on the Island of Puerto Rico with the sun, sand, ocean and nature, my childhood memories<br />

are filled with the lights and shadows of <strong>for</strong>ms and emotions. Sensuality is my language, finding voice<br />

in the <strong>for</strong>m of malleable white clay. Filtered recollections and emotions are abstracted and sculpted<br />

through my hands in a purely intuitive process. Sensuality and memory are the very heart and core<br />

of my work.These works are part of a collection of oceanic memorabilia encountered and recorded<br />

by memory.
