Looking Down at the Beach.

The first fish looks sculpted from sand but was actually a real dead fish that had been beached, coated by sand and somewhat ossified. All first 5 photos taken in a 24 hour period on the beach in front of our beach rental in La Manzanilla. As for the apple, 2 mornings before,  I had written a poem about an apple on my blog, and searched for a photo in my photo file. Finally found one and posted it,  then came out  to the beach and discovered this apple lodged under the bottom of my beach chair. I needed a photo. Nature provided!

These are all assemblage pieces I did in La Manzanilla from objects found on my walks on the beach. They were exhibited in the Hospitalito as part of the San Juan Cosala festival honoring its patron saint, St. John the Baptist. The show will be taken down today, Sunday, June 25.

The Hospitalito Inaugural Art Show Tomorrow!

Please drop by to see the Inaugural Show for the Hospitalito, just a short distance south of the San Juan Cosala plaza. The show, curated by Isidro Xilonsonchitl, will feature the work of 15 local artists.

Since the San Juan Bautista Festival will be going on, the street that leads to it is blocked off by rides and booths, so it might be best to park on the Carretera just before or after the traffic lights and walk the one block down to the show, or to approach the area from the lake side instead of the streets immediately around the plaza. The show will run for two weeks, the duration of the festival, but the Inauguration will be June 16 at 5 o’clock. In addition to the show, there will be the usual food, rides and plenty of booths to tempt your pocketbook!!!

Above and below are a few of the 26 wall pieces I’ll have in the show, as well as a few of the beach creches.They are all assemblages made from material picked up on beach walks during the time I’ve spent on various Mexican beaches.
