Yesterday, I had a chance to see the exhibition “Something Beautiful, Reframing La Colección” at El Museo del Barrio. What I didn’t know coming into the galleries was that my series “The Street Becomes” was not only featured in the exhibition but had inspired a whole section of the show. El Museo and I go back many years and I was so very moved by this.

The exhibition features a number of artists I greatly admire. In particular, I felt humbled to show alongside the great Guatemalan modernist painter Carlos Mérida. His work is represented by a beautiful series of illustrations of the Popol Vuh.
