Artist Statement: Daniel Barragáns paintings, sculptures, and artifacts concern the detection of cultural wealth and cultural mobility. His work is research based in indigenous and chicano studies with a re-gional scope on the American Southwest — the region of his birth. He is committed to the detec-tion and description of the shape of time. He transposes, reduces, and composes a facsimile that will elicit recognition all while conveying a new perception of the subject.
