2/5 Unfortunately, Mastodon mixes the sequence of the images. Find the page numbers in the alt texts with more descriptions.
And sorry for the blurries in some photos.
1/5 A new art book is ready. I don't know why I craft them nor how to explain what I do. It's an intuitive way of working with colours, textures, mixed media and collage, for seeing, touching, and more. A very #meditative work.
This one was the attempt to find something beautiful in our maize #monocultures that I detest.
Just browse my book here.

Los Angeles TimesI call it maize.
"Even before the constitutional reform, it was mostly illegal to plant modified corn in Mexico thanks to a 2013 lawsuit brought by farmer activists. But experts say it still happens. And they say the presence of engineered seeds and corn in Mexico threatens the vast diversity of maize crops here, which span from burnt orange to purple and pink and which have been adapted over centuries to be grown at different altitudes and climates."
