Artist: Aguirre, José Antonio
Title: Firedream
Date: March 7-11, 1988
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 30 1/2" x 26"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "My work is closely related to personal experience.
This visual poem tells the story of a relationship that was so intense
that it was extinguished by the fire of passion. This love is being
reborn through a new fire of life but it has to face a deconstruction
of its past and, in a cathartical experience, overcome the present
to be able to grow into the future." J.A. Aguirre

37. Artist: Alferov, Alex
Title: Oriental Blond
Date: October 3-7, 1988
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 26" x 33"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: Oriental Blond is a portrait that speaks of
the two diverse background cultures that Mr. Alferov has come from.
The bright blond side of the face is the white cultural roots while
the blue side represents his oriental ancestry. The body of Mr. Alferov's
work speaks about the conflicts and resolutions of meeting middle
ground through cultural and emotional diversity.

41. Artist: Avila, Glenna
Title: Plumas para Paloma
Date: March 20-24, 1989
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 37" x 26"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "This is a personal piece celebrating the birth of
my first child, Sara Paloma, depicted at four months. The two weavings
symbolize two cultures from her background--Mexican and Indian--and
also the textures and interweavings of one's life. The photographs
symbolize her connections to her past (she is named for her great-
grandmother Sarah). The feathers on the rug symbolize feathers of
the dove which in Native American cultures stands for good deeds and
power in one's life. This print represents gifts she has received
from her past." G. Avila

44. Artist: Bert, Guillermo
Title: ...And His Image Was Multiplied
Date: January 22-26, 1990
Medium: silk screen
Dimension: 38" x 26"
Art Center: Self-Help Graphics
Comments: "This image refers to the alienation of people who
live in a super metropolis experience. Human beings are separated
from direct contact with nature. The person becomes a mere reflection
of self. These entities are defined by their own image within the
little box of a television set." G. Bert
