This piece is part of a year long Aleta Hayes/Chocolate Heads project exploring the idea of California. Native Californian, Manuel Neri with his interest in the human figure, provoked this deepened investigation of the moving body in the landscape, that began August 2017 on the Djerassi Artist Residency Ranch in the Santa Cruz Mountains and came to completion in the Anderson Collection at the Cantor Arts Center on the Stanford Campus.

sometimes I want to break the structure down into certain areas,
and I use color to do that for me.
I use color to accent or as a destructive element on the figure.
Manuel Neri
