NUEVE/TRECE

The works selected for this mini-retrospective were produced by Flores over the last five years, a period of productivity marked by the numbers nine and thirteen, personal numbers he associates with chance or luck.  Most of the images and forms were inspired by recollections of brief observations of boxes, containers, jewelry, simple musical instruments or tools found during chance encounters in architectural spaces, old and new.  Studio sessions usually begin with a period of reflection or “look-backs” that help guide his hand in a series of improvisational moments.
