reflexiones del corazon
The portfolio Reflexiones del corazon brings
together the creative talents of three native New Mexican artists, each of whom
uses a different medium to express aspects of the state's Hispanic culture.
They bring different personal perspectives which reflect their own views of
the land and people of New Mexico. Poet Gabriel Melendez evokes images with
words; photographer Miguel Gandert records his views through the camera's lens;
and painter Maria Baca uses the lithographic crayon to render her impressions
on the stone.
The project evolved as an interactive collaboration between
the artists, the communities they visited, and Tamarind Institute. The three
artists traveled together to Espanola, Mora, and the Barelas neighborhood of
Albuquerque. The visits prompted dialogue among them, facilitated the exchange
of ideas, and bound together memories, personal experiences, and anecdotes of
each place and community. At Tamarind, Miguel Gandert and Maria Baca distilled
their perceptions into visual images that produce encounters with the essence
of each place. To complete this portfolio, Gabriel Melendez inscribed his reflections
in accompanying poetry and prose.
