Pontius Pilate vs. A Hot Day

What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
I recently built a twelve-meter sculpture for a factory in the State of Mexico. I made several pieces for Georgina Pounds Gallery which were exhibited in Zona Maco.

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
Assembling the large piece taught me how to handle pieces weighing hundreds of kilos. I learned to coordinate two cranes to position the sculpture's parts while I welded the pieces from another crane.

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
When you have an idea for a piece, you have to develop it at different scales: the final piece can be very different from the drawing, model, or construction mock-up. While I was on the crane building the final piece, I made aesthetic decisions about it, thinking about how interesting it is that many contemporary artists make drawings and then have their pieces manufactured. I feel that many creative moments are lost during the production process.

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
The creative process itself isn't a problem. The financial aspect is usually more difficult.

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
My movie would be called: Pontius Pilate vs. A Hot Day. I would do the soundtrack, obviously. 

Which studios, laboratories, or workshops have you collaborated with recently or would you like to collaborate with in the future?
I like collaborating more with KALACH TAX and María Kalach, they are my favorite artists and family.

Recommend one or more artists that you follow and that inspire you.
I recommend Maria Kalach, Raphaelle Balme, Pancha Rodillo, Tom Pontone, Iker Grandio and Phill Musen.
