Using what he deems “mutant practices,” including drawing, painting, sculpture, video, installation, and site-specific projects involving viewer participation, his work focuses on the re-interpretation of memory, inhabitation, and cultural history inspired by the pluralistic existence of growing up on the U.S./Mexico border and living in Los Angeles.
