Mi Propia Hachita
This piece is a cast concrete with a black finnish. It is inspired by a prehistorical black stone axe found in Colombia by my father
It is a symbol of the familiar past that is revealed as part of my life; inspired by a prehistorical black stone ax found by my dad in Colombia; a first contact that changed my relation with the past. A piece that made me wonder where we come from and who were our ancestors.
The original Ax didn't have openings or texture, I added the openings as eyes looking at the past and also the future. The textures where made with objects that I found to create impresions in the surface as my own markings.

Introduction to Pal Tiya: A game changer
For those who are interested in an easy to use sculpture media to create 3D forms that do not require molds, kilns, or heavy armature this is the perfect workshop for you. Pal Tiya is nontoxic material, works like clay that air hardens as concrete. Pal Tiya forms can be placed indoors and outdoors. You don't need a large space to work with this material. The armatures can be made with cardboard and tin foil, perfect for beginners and great fun for intermediate students that want to push for more complex forms.
