June 14- September 13, 2009
El Paso Museum of Art, De Wetter Gallery
An ongoing series of drawings initiated in 2005, these portraits are exact replicas from the missing persons section of Metro, a local newspaper from Mexico City. The tiny drawings are made with the help of a microscope. It takes the artist up to three weeks to complete each piece, giving permanence to these disposable images. The exhibition was organized and funded by the Jumex Foundation, with additional support from the Lannan Foundation.
