The work  “a choir of silver flowers”  is a collection of sensations expressed through drawings and materials that allude to nature.
A collection of  materials and drawings that seek to create a harminous whole. These silver voices, are in the musical range of  soprano, mezzo-soprano and contralto, they are fine voices usually of women and children.
The installation is intended to be a refuge where one can stand and  look, finding compassion and tenderness but without fragileness, more the contrary, it has a character of a lush and fertile landscape. Also one finds naviety, leaving to one side the simple and emphasizing simplicity and honesty, the purity, that can be found in sophisticated and complex mind of a child at play.
The observer may see these underlying themes that charactize all my work in this one piece, it brings together all that I attempt to achieve in my art, tension and harmony through drawing The aim is to capture the sensations that we have on opening a cupboard full of memories. Without doubt these are ancestral memories of when we were more in contact with the Earth.  This installation smells of the hay in a stable, a wood table, fallen autumn leaves, earth, a fireplace or cave.
It tries to create a notice board where one pins all those things that we must not forget.  To remember is the most important thing to understand where we come from and where we are going.
