From Dock Space Gallery:
“Translating to “Roots and Wings,” Rodriguez’ work explores the role of parents as a lifelong shelter and launchpad for their children. Growing up, Rodriguez spent time at a caretaker’s house while his father went to work at Kelly Air Force Base. Here Rodriguez’ older cousin taught him to create paper model sculptures, which he revisits now as a symbol of flight and the ability to return. Images of San Antonio’s ice houses represent “home” and form the backdrop for paper model airplanes. Combined these form a collection that is nostalgic, dynamic, tactile, and distinctly San Antonio.”
