Si Los Zapatos Pudieran Hablar- Huellas del Tiempo
This second installment in the series has a completely different conceptual underpinning. It focuses more on the artwork itself and underscores how the sculptures comment on time and materiality. It also foregrounds its relationship to the reader and the greater world in which we live. The bilingual book is intended to reflect the world around us. Even if all readers will not necessarily speak both languages, the juxtaposition of English and Spanish on the same surface of paper is analogous to the presence of different peoples living together on the same land. Our shoes walk the same earth and leave traces like footprints of time.
