By the time I had two children (Tomás was born in 1992) I found it more convenient to develop ideas in the studio rather than out of doors. With the passage of time, through the constant repetition of certain views or icons I developed an abstraction of this urban and industrial landscape. Now I had an alphabet of symbols with which to rewrite the world. This culminated in projects such as the 'Motorway Factory', my ironic proposal for an industrial city. I discovered rubber as a medium. It has been a permanent ingredient ever since and marks the beginning of my interest in interactive installations. The idea of the pieces being usable is very appealing.
