Must the civilized be pretentious? Why cannot originality be found in the organic warmth of natural mistakes of rough lines to a human eye? And yet, are leather and leather tones, which is so geometrically stretched to bring more efforts of a returning amidst the civilized splash of regimentation dimension. Perhaps it is in measure that we find civilization’s paradox.

And is here where Ms. Pilar Aguero-Esparza at Patricia Sweetow Gallery answers with that indigenous charm. It is here where we are elated to unwind with winding. To the defects of civilized measure there is a relief in the ability to know the ends are resilient.

The attention to detail of dynamos drama, involving the struggle for balance, achieves a beautiful end. It is one where we are absent controlling movement, yet measure is precisely for that objective. A native, primal, innocence to rule and order needs to include elements for dance and cosmic rhythm. That play, which is so strongly captured by the neutral tones, helps us appreciate that in the twists of the need for vain appearances, there is a natural string.
