Pachypodium Aka “PACH”
“PACH” is not a human, nor an animal, she’s not a monster or a god.
She is actually a life-giving very lost Celestial Ocean flower. A half human half plant celestial organism . She is searching for her kind and her home in an ocean less Concrete jungle.
By day she searches and at night she dreams of home. Never to be found On this planet , she searches still.”
This sculpture is half of a collaborative, bigger piece incorporating the piece “Infinity”. Created by collaborating artists, Neon Thrash, and Patrick Medrano.
“Over the past few decades, I've written plenty of terrible bios. When you're young, it's difficult to articulate what is not built yet. Your artistic career and artistic skills are not quite established enough to pinpoint what it's about I felt. And quite honestly at the beautiful age of 50 it's still
quite difficult. And since I'm lucky enough to still be asked over all these years, I'm going to give it a shot once more. So here we go.
Art has been the most beautiful and inspiring thing in this life. The evolution of the word Art in my life has brought me so much joy. I've traveled all over the world in the name of art. I can honestly say l've never been anywhere without the help of my artistic endeavors, and the hard
work that has gone into building this artful career.
After all of these years, I can clearly see, and say that I am an artist. I have been given a chance, and I have been lucky enough to surround myself, with the artistic love of others, and the humbling feeling of doing good in this world because of the arts, and the people that surround that word.
Make no mistake, it has not been easy and most of the time it's nerve-racking financially. But
make no mistake. It is the only life for me, and I would have not had it any other way.
Just like a fine wine or strong drugs, Art continues to addict and through me to my core. At the age of 50 l feel as if I am just beginning. I've done too many shows to count, and I do
not intend on stopping or counting.
A few years ago, I nearly lost my life. After waking up from a coma to my beautiful wife, I was also woken up to my beautiful family of artists. A family of artists who decided to get together and sell their own work to support me and my family in our time of dire need. I will never forget, and I will never let go of that love my art community showed us. I will undoubtedly spend the rest of my life thanking and being thankful for this. Houston and it's Houstonians will always be my artistic home no matter where the arts take me. Thank you, Houston.”
