SYLLABLES SERIES
The Syllables pieces form an ongoing series of framed mixed media collages on wood panel. The works reproduce archival images of Buddhist and Greek stone sculptures that are fragmented or incomplete. These sculptures are overlaid with a series large black letters, fragments of paper, shells, feathers, and small objects. The letters in the works are taken from the syllables in Francisco Hernández’s poem Cinco Melismas para Gunther Gerzso.
CINCO MELISMAS PARA GUNTHER GERZSO
V.
La pasión sobre el muro, el nudo por venir, el nacimiento.
Los resquicios umbríos, el borde iluminado y su lamento.
La batalla del rojo y naranja, el fresco viento
del recuerdo de Grecia donde vivir es un experimento
de atmósferas, de cortes y hundimiento.
-Francisco Hernández
