Birds fly to the last rays of sunlight keeping match over a man returning home from the fields. Dressed in white to keep cool in the day's heat, he carries wood for the kitchen stove in his home by the river. Ismael DÃaz transfers his original sense of art as he paints with acrylics on a ceramic metate or metatl, as the Aztec people refer to it. It was designed for grinding maze, seeds, and grains by rolling the stone up and down the slightly convex and rugged surface. The metate is still used in many Mexican households.
