The series of assemblages/constructions on the Escalera Buses began in 1973., after returning to Medellin  from a decade of studies and travels in the US, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.Winning a four  year Art  Scholarship to the University of Miami.

 In 1979, I showed three large bus constructions, that won  a First Prize National at the Museo de Antioquia, in Medellin. Fernando Botero was in town at the time of the event and liked my work a lot, so he left word with the Museum Director saying he wanted to meet me, which was a great honor and surprise. We had a great meeting and conversations in Bogota, at his brother's house. 

Materials used:

They are made of a wooden frame & support  covered with thin zinc sheet metal, mirrored and painted glass, electric hardware, industrial enamel paints and laquers. metal ladders  + other hardware.  
I worked on the series all the way to 1980, two months before show at the Colombo -American Center Art Gallery in Bogota, Colombia, Sponsored by the US Embasy in Colombia.
Thanks to US GOVT: World Wide Information Service and mass articles in all media at the time put me on the map.
