I just returned from a 3 week residency in Mexico.  The residency was organized through Arquetopia, a not for profit organization based out of Puebla and Oaxaca, Mexico.

I'd like to thank Paco, Chris, Nyeli, Kim, Marce, Gloria as well as our incredible cook for making my trip so amazing. 

While I was there I experimented with "papel mache" (papier mâché) techniques and learned some new embroidery and cross stitching skills.

I also found a bit of time to visit some Mayan ruins, watch some Mexican wrestling, drink Mezcal and eat lots and lots of delicious Mexican food.




Performance artists Sandrine Schaefer and Daniel S. DeLuca were also participants of the residency during my stay.  You can check out their work at the following links.
