PENDULARES SERIES
The Pendulares is a series of 5 works that play with the form of a mirror pendulum dropping from the toe of a shoe form. As the series progresses in number the shape of the mirror takes the form of a water drop.

THE MAKING OF PENDULARES
I use glass in many of my works and for years now I have worked closely with a family-owned glass business in the historic center of Mexico City. This is a photo of Papa Memo beveling the glass of a 1st Movement piece.
