Field notes
Each palito starts as a found branch gathered at named sites in Tuscany, Mexico City, and Oaxaca; the artist follows its existing bends and knots to suggest an animal, then paints patterns onto the wood. The catalogue lists 29 works, with named pieces priced from CHF 1,000 to CHF 1,800. The page also offers printed postcards of two paintings, while other recent paintings are identified as being in private collections or not for sale.
