“Echale Agua” translates roughly to “Throw Water On It” and is a colloquial phrase used by many domino players of Cuban and Puerto Rican heritage when they shuffle and reset tiles (or “fichas”) between rounds of play. In this series, cyanotype prints and mixed-media drawings capture and reframe this important cultural ritual and pastime. Using domino tiles as mark-making tools, the works are made slowly under UV light capturing movement and imprints in various hues of blue. Each work reconstructs memories of the artist’s upbringing in Hialeah, Florida—a dense enclave of Cuban immigrants in Miami-Dade County—where he spent many weekends playing dominoes with family members on a covered porch. To complete the process, the prints are washed in a basin of water. This removes the cyanotype sensitizer and stops the hand-made sisal paper from darkening further. By immersing the prints in water, the colloquial phrase that inspired the series is enacted in a new form and preserves the meaning of resetting between iterations. The series is accompanied by a continual practice of writing poems that combine memories and descriptions of the author’s upbringing into lyrical collages.
