Cultural Liminality: The Comfort of Being Inbetween

February 24, 2016 · by admin · in General

I am sit­ting in the Zócalo on a hot after­noon drink­ing a michelada and snack­ing on some salty limey peanuts. At the table to my left sits a group of aging gringos sip­ping cof­fee and deci­pher­ing maps plan­ning out their next day.…

About

A teacher, poet, writer, artist and musi­cian. A man of many inter­ests who enjoys the pur­suit of under­stand­ing and the val­ue of knowl­edge.

My work is explorato­ry, inves­tiga­tive and polem­i­cal yet sen­si­tive. I draw inspi­ra­tion from sur­re­al­ism, dadaism, ultra­ism and zen. I prefer to view the uni­verse as nei­ther com­plex nor sim­ple, but instead as a series of poet­ic acci­dents and mis­takes unfold­ing before our curi­ous eyes. This is the prin­ci­ple that guides me, my per­son­al narrative(s) and my work.
