"LOS MEJORES EXITOS"
Found Objects
2024
This artwork, titled "Los Mejores Éxitos," is a mixed media work that features cassettes of Mexican cumbia and corridos music, celebrating the vibrant sounds of Latinx culture. Encased in a wooden frame, and covered with a chain link fence, it combines layers of vintage ephemera, creating a dialogue between past and present. The piece reflects themes of reclamation and identity, inviting viewers to explore the stories behind the discarded materials and their significance in contemporary society. The raw, textured aesthetic embodies the essence of rasquache, celebrating resourcefulness and creativity while honoring the rich musical heritage that inspires the work.

Rocha|Schweder Collaboration
1) The items Gil sent to me
2) The items we both have…will we both use them?!
3) Gil Rocha himself
4) The items I sent Gil
Background: Back in ‘25, I happened to meet featured artist, Gil Rocha | @rocha.rochelli , at the opening for Ya Hecho: Readymade in the Borderlands at @tucsonmuseumofart !
The exhibition was right up my [found-object] alley and I quickly fell in love with the work within it, especially Gil’s.
Long story short, he agreed to [and put a few parameters around] a shared art project for two jewelry works, beginning with each of us sending the other a box of objects from which to build into a partially finished work [a starter for you sourdough bread making peeps].
After we that, we’ll go two more “rounds” and end-up with an enhanced and finished wearable work of each others initial offerings! How cool is this!?
