These large canvas wall fabrics are inspired by my father’s architectural drawings of the houses he wanted to build in Guadalajara, one of which he did. My wall drawings are derived from my room at Mansion Magnolia. This room was used as my father’s office when he eventually moved back to Guadalajara. These works are meant to leave their original site and serve as a visual element that allows me to retain something of my living space and my action of living in it.
I installed them in the main courtyard the last week of my residency at Mansion Magnolia. Their images and textures reflect the residential architecture that simultaniously exists with the commercial nature of the events venue which is used primarily for weddings and quinceaneras.
