Im traveling with a sculptor friend through the north of the US
from Chicago to the east coast, in search for West African sculpture exhibits
in the main US museums that hold them.
This is part of an adventurous research to develop ourselves artistically and spiritually.
We are both woodworkers and explorers, hoping to make friends and family along the way
to give and receive all the good things that come.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in human trust and vibrational kinship.

Interests

Currently im very interested in space, and how light and sound travel in it,
how emotions, perception and language shapes and is shaped by space and its design.

Im interested in developing research doing vernacular arquitecture, with natural building techniques and sutainable principles. I enjoy learning native handcrafts and applying them to living structures and scenography.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ive been an avid music collector for some time now
and I'm always searching for more.
Im interested in the orgins of genres
and the raw sounds of cultures.
I dream of being part of etnomusical research someday.

Im also beginning a small, but evergrowing book collection at home
which is composed of the books that have caught my attention in my travels.
Mostly Art books from museum editorials, vernacular architecture, and lighting or theatre set design.
But I love to read science fiction, latin american authors, and poetry from anywhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Shipwrecked on a small sailboat on the coast of Cuba.

Teach, Learn, Share

Im eager to share my interests and experience but even more so; to learn from others who may become my teachers. Sharing is important for me as a way to preserve knowledge and a growing diversity of viewpoints.

If I can be helpful in any way Im pleased to do so
