A new art exhibit opening in San Francisco's Mission district on Saturday is celebrating Hispanic tradition through sculpture.
Each tap of the hammer evokes a memory. Each one lives strongly in the mind of Javier Pérez and in the soul of some sculptures that give life to a dream of many, many years.
Perez is beginning to shape that vision with a new exhibition in one of the center's galleries. The installation entitledhonors his father, Don Fermin Pérez, and his strong attachment and appreciation of"dichos," or words of wisdom. "It's about friendship. It's about companionship. It's about filling your life with somebody that you can rely on and somebody that you are good friends with," he explained.
