Welcome Megatron 2005

Plastic in my work serves two purposes. Materially it references the transformation of consumable products into the poetic, the Latin-American Plastic Arts. It also serves to reference the plasticity of the mind. This is the term used when Neurons "learn" to receive chemicals from Neurotransmitters they were not "connecting" with before.

Plasticity is the ability of the brain to reorganize neural pathways based on new experiences. Action changes brain chemistry which changes perception.

Dolls in my work not only reference childhood and play but also complacency. They also stand as markers for action as symbolic gesture; creating change of both perception and the perceived tangible.
