Koo Koo Roo
title Koo Koo Roodescription "With "Images of the future" the theme for Atelier XXII[sic]. I choose tradition being kepted[sic] alive in the future. The title of the peice[sic] is "Coo Coo Roo." The tree growing into the form of a schull[sic] represents Mexican tradition/heritage. The young boy (actually is grandfather as a young boy, Grandpa is in his 90's know[sic], the first of the family to com to U.S. from Mexico). The boy is tending to the tree making sure it is watered properly and the tree is growing and very alive in a barren land. As the sun raises the rooster gives his call to everyone to get up, CooCooRoo, Get up it is a new day, Get up and go out into this brand new day, a fresh start and make something good happen. The young boy (Francisco) has always listened to the rooster. Francisco is keeping the tradition alive and will pass on the garden hose that supplies the water to keep the tree rooted in his heritage alive to his son and so on. May we never forget the past of our people but learn to live a better life from it. Keep the tradition alive."
