This September Metro Galleries had another installment of it's Lationation event: Cinco De Lationation, curated by Don Martin. It is a time to artists to create works that reflect Latin heritage.
My entry to this group show was a statue of a head that I call Sun Stone Man.
The front is the face of is a figure from the center of the Aztec sun stone, the sun god, Tonatuh. I continued the design from the sun stone around to the back.

In the center of the back, instead of having the sun god again, I used a figure that is Mayan to represent the mixing of cultures. No one of Latin heritage is completely from one tribe, we are all products of the melting-pot.

Latination 5 will be on display for the month of September at Metro Galleries, Bakersfield.
