RAFAEL DOMENECH Rafael Domenech’s work extends from bookmaking, collage, and sculpture. Working from repurposed natural, industrial, and mass-produced objects, Domenech’s work is often responsive to the context where the work is created and its exhibition site. He understands the urban habitat as a convoluted, selftransforming, and revolting force continuously generating knowledge, ideas, and language. After experiencing cultural and geographi­cal dislocation, daily walks through the city (to create a personal photographic archive) are fundamental for the construction and understanding of the new landscape. Domenech's works are part of collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Perez Art Museum, Miami, Bass Museum, Miami Beach, and The Bronx Museum, New York.
