Ceramicist George Rodriguez with Lost in Composition.

George Rodriguez, Zodiac Series, alebrijes

George Rodriguez is an artist living and working in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Below is an interview with Lost in Composition discussing his life and works. Following the video of our discussion are samples of his art, items discussed in our conversation, and links to his site. Corgi (North), shown below, got away from me. If I had unlimited funds, I would commission something like La Flor, El Nicho, y sus Memorias (also below) as a dia de los Muertos room in my dream home. I thank George for his time and the use of his images; it means a lot to me.
