ART INSTALLATION INSPIRED BY CONQUISTADOR TOMBS

At long last the project that started over a year ago is making some progress. At first I wanted to use stone rubbings of the spectacular tomb stones from the conquistador period as a base for further art work; it's  a wonderful adventure to hunt them down all over Extremadura.........but this didn't work so well, the tomb stones were either too worn or too degraded to get  satisfactory rubbings.
Now by endless experiments I am using manipulated photographic images printed on to various grounds and further manipulated with paint and objects.
It is difficult to find the time to go on forays and then get down to the work but I am motivated again and hope to have enough material for an exhibition by the Summer, it has been promised in Trujillo.........it's up to me now.  Keep checking blog for updates and possibly some images of progress.
