Date Farmers
Armando Lerma
Lerma’s work made under the Date Farmers name entails a diffusion of individual authorship, a circumstantial but pertinent anonymity that evoked the nameless throng of farm workers who harvest and serve the food we eat. Beneath its overt visuality, a cultural identity that remains hidden behind the lines of poverty and struggle, occupies his work. Lerma develops many of the same themes, but with an underlying consciousness of a cosmic essence, a redemptive power that resides in the timelessness of spirit. While the world at large offers fleeting internet obsessions and political turmoil, Armando Lerma’s work offers a window to another dimension.
