An Investigation of Mexican Gravesites in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and Laredo, Texas

Finally, both were involved with the creation of objects of veneration according to personal edicts, but in relation to already established mythologies. I proposed to create a body of work based on the information gathered from th… more
