The large-scale work on paper epitomizes Amado’s career-long interest in the power of text and abstract forms. His work "Machine," for example, is taken after Andy Warhol’s iconic quote, “I think everybody should be a machine.” The artist states, “In the end, I expressed my humanity...and allowed my humanity, emotions, and intuitions to flow and open for further human experiences.” The work hints at his early interest in structural design during a summer he spent with renowned architect O'Neil Ford.
