"I like to cause small disturbances and blips. “Convenient Compositions” are minute gestures where formal, and sculptural traditions of assemblage are constructed to form upended, poetic associations. Place and time act as stages for objects of consumption in humorous tableaus of constructed ephemerality. When it comes to its ready made quality, I like to think of Isa Genzken and her sculpture. I believe that the works are curious “things” that appear to have sprouted spontaneously on their own. That have been “found” as they are. I like them to feel immediate, even though they have been carefully composed. Transactions and commerce turns into precious waste, waiting to be immortalized in the memory of a passerby: a game of trash and treasure in the viewer’s gaze. " - Alfredo Travieso
