Watsonville Brillante: En el Cielo

En el Cielo, (In the Sky) began as a linocut.  I created this image during my artist residency at the Blue Mountain Center in upstate New York.  My friend Francisco Dominguez sent me some photographs in collaboration.  Growing up in Watsonville our family had spent times picking apples near Corralitos. En el Cielo represents someone reaching for the world.  It could be anyone striving to be the best.  It also shows how difficult the work is to be on a ladder in the sky in a delicate balance.
