IIt is a threatening figure with its three points poised to hurt anyone that gets too close. Its an eye that observes us with its concave pupil revealing a spark that comes from inside. That is the Muisca’s eye, the precolumbian culture living in Colombia, where the sun was god and all the oferings where made out of gold. I am capturing my ancestors golden eye looking trough my soul.
The Muiscas Eye : steel, cast bronze, glass, copper wire. 22” x 29.9”

This workshop will benefit students who are interested in an easy-to-use sculpture media to create 3D forms that do not require molds, kilns, or heavy armature. Pal Tiya is a nontoxic material which works like clay that air hardens as concrete. Participants will discover the basics of Pal Tiya mixing and using other forms as support to create thin shells. You will also learn to create different textures, tooling, sanding, and finishes. The workshop will be a combination of hands-on learning and exploration of process images and finishes. It is perfect for beginners and for intermediate students who want to push for more complex forms. Open to all skill levels.
