Text Entries
Ortiz’s work can be described as a personal poetic discourse that communicates place or moments in time, by means of reductive imagery. ‘Blaubarts-Berg #3” is a companion piece to Blaubarts-Berg #1.  Blue Beard’s Castle is the English translation of this title. #1 indicates the architecture of a Castle in a simple blue square, while #3 takes on an organic form perhaps in reference to the Blue Beard himself.
