Inspiración del Flamenco
From the cuevas of Granada to the ferias of Seville, from the bodegas of Jerez
to the chiringuitos of Malaga the undeniable force of the proud women of
flamenco stamp and swirl, their costumes ruffle and whirl. The plaintive songs
of the Gitano people, their struggles and sufferings inspired my most recent
collection of work. The aleteo, the flutter of the frills of her frock, the
duende, the inner force that drives flamenco and the arranque, a spontaneous
outburst of emotion from the performers propels the flow and movement of the
stone.
