Patria series      

2024

Silkscreen on the Atlas de Cuba, 29.75 x 19 inches

Edition of 4 - 6 for each image

The Patria series was created in January 2024 after a 4-year absence of visiting friends and collaborating in Havana, a place we have visited for over 20 years, often staying from three weeks to a year. The tower is what remains of the wall built by the Spanish centuries ago to guard the city of Havana and located next to the Museum of the Revolution. The adjoining images were collected on walks across the city. Fantastical tree stumps line the sidewalks on Calle Línea, casting a remembrance of shaded walks. Havana is always in repair, and the footprints in concrete record the travels of the populace.
