- Red Dancer [Chicago, December 1991]
-
I wanted to play with spray paint and the first impulse was to cut out the dark areas in a photograph I found in a magazine and spray paint some boards with it.
Three years before, in Brazil, I shot a series of photographs on street grafitis. One artist used spray-painterd stencils to comment on popular culture, mixing political and street-slang messages with his spray-painted figures.

-
This is what I would call "a strange case of my own mental backyard": I had drawn a quick impulsive line with no purpose in mind.
With time, this line drawing would resurface and finally, I decided it looked like a mysterious figure holding a magical skeptre.
At the time I colored it, I was interested in rendering images with tones of the simple color, adding flashes of other colors to create some dynamics (as in the border red and orange patterns).
