A significant aspect of Armendariz's work involves harnessing seemingly mundane and ubiquitous symbols to craft narratives that resonate on multiple levels. "Everybody can understand a plant in a vase, a coyote, a bull, or a crow. These aren't difficult things to understand. But if you allow them, they speak on other layers and levels going back to art history, mythology, popular culture, and belief systems."
