fabricating
the real
Edith Garcia has long embraced unconventional sculptural and experimental drawing projects, for the site-specific commission Fabricating the Real, she pushes her practice even further by exploring ideas of transience, the status of the object in contemporary art and theory, and notions of the sublime. The environment she created references reference the Minnesota landscape in color palette and form, bringing together a range of media including sculptural ice, porcelain, wall drawings on satin, chiffon and laser cut acrylic figurative pieces in an attempt to see the familiar in unfamiliar ways.
Garcia also continued her current research into the social and political structures between the USA, Latin America and Europe, a project drawn from personal global political observations. On show is Equities of Today, an artwork that works towards the investigation into the displacement of diverse individuals throughout contemporary global culture.
