“I started building this in 1978. Through the walls, through the peoples’ eyes, body and mind, through the crack, through corporation firewalls and my mirror reflecting. Hombre Primitivo; fire lit, built then burnt. Walking on shattered landscapes, seeing ants slowly building a home out of it with beauty and pride. A stranger’s realm, crossing its graveyard at dawn. You know nothing. FEELING$ REAL”
