The artist, born in Arequipa, Peru in 1949, has lived and photographed in Seattle for thirty years.  Here he has represented people by documenting their absence.  In his Sand Point Series, the artist was overwhelmed by the absence of people as he photographed rooms exactly as he found them.  Despite the inherent documentary qualities, he prefers to think of his photos as subconscious interpretations of reality rather than documentation of something real.
