The Bleeding Border

Sergio Gomez
The Bleeding Border
Acrylic on Paper/Canvas
77" x 112"
2008

Border text reads as follows: Illusion and deception. One door opens, another one closes before their eyes. In the silence of the night, "mojaditos" crying as they cross the line. The "coyote" is on the run. They don't understand why.
Dream and reality is their wonderland in disguise. Someone's children, anonymous shadows to the rest of us. Thousands of
unspoken and ignored inconveniences. One bleeding border, one more night.
