A Nucleo solo show, based on the application of Boolean operators on sculptural forms, through a process of subtraction, addition or intersection of geometric elements that tests the physical and perceptual limits of metals, epoxy resins, majolica, and construction materials, embedded with repurposed items and antique furnishings.
