Across the Floor is so nostalgic of my time growing up on the East Coast. I have visited Grand Central Station many times and remember it being one of the most magical moments. The train gets quiet and everything goes dark as you enter the underground tunnel. As you exit, passengers push against each other through the hot, humid platforms and then you emerge to find yourself under the constellations. Being surrounded by so many people who don't seem to keep still long enough to enjoy it, but I could always take a deep breath in this moment. This print captures the bustle and beauty of this iconic New York City experience.

"This piece is a perfect composition of circles, from the crouched woman to the swimming fish to the sun and moon. It shows the artist's mastery of texture and transparency, even through darkness. He was a key figure to the art community of Oaxaca and is one of my favorite Mexican artists. For me, his works are clearly influenced by Mexican folk culture, imagery, and textures but are also clearly his own."

For me, 'El Camino de la Vaca' (The Cow's Path/Trail) is a 'why not'? type of piece. It has a simple joy for joy's sake. Of course, there is intention and artistry, like the beautiful ink textures, patterns, and perspective. But at this moment I appreciate his choice to create an uncomplicated, sweet scene. The grass forms a sort of red carpet for the underappreciated cow. We can smile just because.
