Construction unit.
Puzzle pieces are fragments of information. Although they are meaningless by themselves, they generate an image or a shape when built as a whole. Separately, each piece is an information unit, which builds an image. With this construction premise in mind (units that brought together can cause a shape to exist) I use the idea of the puzzle in order to create my work. My entire artwork is made out of puzzle pieces that have been used and disposed.
In the work that I have been producing since 2011, I have explored different construction possibilities in two and three dimensions. Sometimes, I preserve the original colors so that I can play and explore into de creation of sculptures and installations. The chromatic scale I have found within the thousands of pieces of the hundreds of puzzles that have worked with, is very wide. I like to think of them as carton pixels that allow me to create new shapes.
Every piece is still part of a whole, but its configuration is no longer submitted to the printed information on it nor to the precision of its shape, it now acknowledges a new kind of rearrangement and its scale admits a new and different lecture of the work of art. In this new lecture, the two-dimensional support invades the tridimensional space to point out another interpretation that goes beyond the contemplative act of figuration, thus suggesting its possibility to be understood as a tridimensional shape that relocates.
The TATE Gallery defines “biomorphism” as representations that, despite being abstract, refer to or evoke organic or life forms; I use this concept to make general reference to the different structures that can be recognized in my work. "Biomorphism" comes from the word morphology, this is responsible for the study and description of shapes and structures in general, identifies and describes them. Similarly in my production process I classify materials, conceptualize ideas and build forms. Based on the definition of "biomorphism" I propose this project as a set of sculptures that, without mimicking nature, refer to it by following rhythms, patterns and models of organization of both internal and external forms and structures, of growth or of crystallization.
