Marco Oviedo has been making art since he was six years old. “Longer than I want to admit,” he says. He belongs to one of the few families that have been continuously, over the last 500 years, doing this same process. There is an example in a text he shares, showing a piece by his […]
Bring You Alive : David Whyte
