| "I wanted
to make something with my hands, to use raw materials that
cost close to nothing, and ... I was bored at my job. So, seven
years ago I got into the habit of going out to the land (anywhere)
and salvaging rusted bottlecaps, old cans, bottles, photos, bailing
wire, and weathered barn-wood." These are what I now call
my "Retablos." Traditionally, a retablo is a wall
hanging that is for a special place in your home for devotional
or non-devotional inspiration. Please take a moment to check out
my work. Gracias Amigos,
Kenny
