Artist Statement -
When I traveled to Guatemala, I took in so many beautiful sites. Traveling out of the country was an amazing, yet shocking experience for me. What stuck the most when I got back to the states were the stray dogs and black sand beaches. Early in the morning as the sun rose, I would walk the beach. The fog would be really thick, making it hard to see very far ahead of you. As I would walk, I would see many stray dogs roaming around the beach. Seeing all of the stray dogs on the beach was weird for me because there is nothing like that in the states.
This piece is inspired by my trip to Guatemala. I used translucent baking clay, black sand, and fake fur to capture my memory into a palm sized memento. The translucent baking clay it used to capture the early morning fog. I then mixed the black sand and fake fur into the clay and molded it into a hand held memory. This little shape encompasses both the stray dogs on the black sand beach and the foggy mornings.
