This project constitutes an ongoing series of sculptures based on the photographic experiments done by Eadweard J. Muybridge, 1930-1904 and Harold Edgerton, 1903-1990.
The series explores the experience and representation of time.
Light’s Shadow
2023
Black candle, pedestal, light reflector.
12 x 12 x 47 in.
This installation explores the nature of what is hidden in plain sight.
Memory
2021
Refrigerator, glass containers and lime flavored jello
64.4 x 28 x 27.5 in
It’s the memory in which the fridge was positioned when the jellies were set. I like to think of it as a transfer of body memory. I am interested in exploring a different kind of memory than the one we use, for instance, to remember our friend’s name or someone's phone number or a history lesson, and rather refer to the memory of the body through which we build affections, aversions, the one that, at a basic level, links us to the world.
Light/Matter
2021
Paper, plastic, wood, aluminum foil, metal pin, graphite
6 x 7 x 9 in each
I consider these pieces to be small drawing that become sculptures. They are done by making no distinction between light, shadow and matter. Put in other words, disregarding the divide between material and immaterial.
Unlike other titles in the exhibition which are in Spanish, I kept this one in English because the yuxtaposición of those words in English Light/Matter proposes other possible readings as in a greater field of meaning; one that equates light with matter, other that considers the weightless of matter; other that points as light as subject matter and yet a fourth one that states light as important. Any of these possible readings or better yet, taking the four at the same time, beautifully correlates with these pieces inner workings.
