Miguel A. Aragon | Un hombre fue encontrado ejecutado, 2022
Aquatint
Media Dimensions: 46 x 38 cm
Image Dimensions: 30.5 x 23 cm
Edition of 10
Framed Only
In my artistic practice, I have continued to capture and freeze a specific moment that shows the marks of time to conveying the transitory nature of memory, reflect on the process of recollection, and allude to the temporary nature of human existence. Within these themes, I proceeded to build on the subject of violence in México that I have worked with for over 13 years. However, I also began a new journey by expanding to a new topic inspired by objects and personal belongings created and collected by my mother, who passed away in early 2020. Unlike the chemist, who experiments in her lab to arrive at a verifiable fact, what I seek does not follow the same path to discovery. Rather, I chase a moving target that keeps me questioning, experimenting, and refining, and ultimately, achieving a final product that meets the leap of faith of my expectations. Printmaking especially affords this kind of progression and requires a dynamic practice of responding and adjusting to experiments with technique, process, and subject matter. You can only design your intent so much—the rest unfolds on its own.
