Bahay Barrios
BAHAY BARRIOS
In February I visited Eliza at her family's home, Bahay Barrios, in San Diego. I was completely blown away by the kinship that I share with Momma Barrios's aesthetic!!! I absolutely love her sensibility of home.
Front entryway
Alter as you walk in. When I told my father that I thought Momma Barrios had him beat in alters, he didn't believe it until I showed him the pictures; his response was: "I think Momma Barrios and I would get along very well."
Detail
"Elvis" and "Armi"

The Barrios bowling trophies (most are Momma Barrios's). We went bowling on the Naval base when I was there and she put Eliza and I to shame.

Do You Trust The Ground You Walk On
DO YOU TRUST THE GROUND YOU WALK ON?
Photo by Jeremy Brooks
Eliza Barrios' installation at Micaela Gallery in San Francisco's Hayes Valley asks viewers to ponder. Her elegant, poignant, and dizzying site-specific installation incorporates photography, video and her signature use of reflection. One is left lingering, whether it's to ruminate on the social implications of her presentation or to revel in the pure visual pleasure her work delivers, the imprint remains.
The installation is seen from the outside gallery window and I highly recommend viewing it at night!
do you trust the ground you walk on is part of the exhibition Bag' O/Neo: 21st Century Modernism curated by Rico J. Reyes. The show also includes works by Emily Caisip, Pauletta Chanco, Cirilo Domine, John Yoyogi Fortes, Julia Marchand, and Christiane Ostertag.
