July- August 2026
I am a sculptor based in the San Francisco Bay Area working primarily with untreated wood. I attended the Ant Project residency in July and August 2026 and had a wonderful experience.
During the residency, I experimented with local woods—including teka, tzalam, and ziricote—and explored Tarkashi, a centuries-old Indian wire-inlay technique. This experimentation allowed me to create a proof of concept for a larger project.
Guadalupe was incredibly generous in connecting me with local material suppliers and artists and recommending museums and cultural institutions to visit. The residency culminated in a well-attended open house, where I had the opportunity to introduce my work to curators, artists, and members of the local arts community.
What I valued most was the meaningful introduction to Mexican culture and everyday life that Guadalupe and her wonderful family—including their three beautiful dogs—offered so warmly. The residency was comfortable and welcoming, and the thoughtfully designed architecture of the studio is, in itself, a beautiful introduction to Mexican art and design.
