Works from my very recent 2 month residency at Campos de Gutíerrez in Medellín, Colombia:
(Opening night and fellow exhibition artists included in previous post.)
The Venue for Crecer, Menguar (Wax, Wane): El Palacio de Cultura Rafael Uribe Uribe
Rejas 2013
(instalacíon en balcones del patio interno de Palacio de Cultura)
cordón de color, madera (coloured cord, wood)
3.6 x 1.7m cada
In Colombia security grills, or rejas in Spanish, adorn every window that could possibly be climbed into. Most live their lives behind them.
El Ganges de Medellín 2013 (Medellin Ganges ..)
(instalación en el techo)
7 sábanas de aldodón lavadas en el Río Medellín ( 7 cotton sheets washed in the Medellin River)
2.5 x 1.2m cada
The Medellin River runs through the centre of the city and is heavily polluted. Corruption thwarts efforts to enforce regulation. My assistant and I lost a layer of skin from our hands while washing them.
Instalacíon colaborativa de Aurora Pineda & Laura Marsh:
Urna funeraria para Aurora 2008 & Fe 2013 (Funeral urn for Aurora .. & Faith ..)
terracotta con 5 años de secado al aire & terracotta
The church space serendipitously awaited our works to be placed within it..
