“Ái Spik Ínglish”
New York, 2005
Rubber stamp prints on paper, Edition of 5
20 x 15 cm | 8” x 6” each
Seven prints with fictional short dialogues of low-income Latino immigrants adapting in the US, using English phrases in their Spanish pronunciation.
They were inspired by popular pocket books used to learn English, and refer to topics like work, household, health-care, shopping, and trying to make a living or surviving in the city.
