1986 – Axis Mundi

Axis Mundi

1986
Iron and salt rocks

I made this, my first serious sculpture, to be shown at the Palacio de Sastago, a Renaissance palace in the middle of Zaragoza in Spain. It is a 5 metres tall tower representing a mountain. I had climbed few months before the San Lorenzo mount in La Rioja, the place where I was born, by walking in a spiral of seven laps towards the top. It took me one whole day. The tiny dot in the picture below is me while the performance.
