Doris Salcedo

Atrabilious 1992-93

“My work is based on experiences I lack,” Salcedo explained.“Therefore, it is made from an unfamiliar,unstableplace, simultaneouslystrange and proper. This piece is made from an indirect perspective, and place of insufficiencyfrom which a fragmentary, incompletehistory is precariouslytold and retold.

The title Atrabilious means “melancholy”or “ill temper”, which is used by her to imply how she encased worn women’s shoes in niches covered with a scrim made from stretched cow’s bladder express these meanings.

Uprooted” (2020-22)

In this specific sculpture, Doris Salcedo used roots from a tree to express a desire to make a place their own, whether purchasing a house or deciding to live in one location for many years. A sense of community, family, being surrounded by one’s belongings, and feeling safe and secure all help to form the idea of home

Olivia Bonilla resin work includes her exploring her own personal nostalgia and indulgence through references of sweets and toy culture with an 80s and 90s retro flare.

These 50 individual resin based sculptures are all meant to inspire and tell playful vibrantlycolourful stories.

I really like how she has an inventiveapproach to colour theory within sculpture and how texture is created by placing the toys more

“

My sculptures explore the feeling of a lustful existence and emotional desire, a combination of glutinous shinny landscapes who reveal childhood colors of cotton candy blue and bubble gum pink.”

Using resin and string, I experimented with the concept of movement and flow, which reflects the continuousmobility experienced throughout migration.The string's purpose is to draw attention to this endless motion, which may have no starting point or end. Whereas the resin was utilised to depict this sense of captivity,which can be interpreted as the unfavourable feelings experienced by those who must leave their native country for a variety of reasons.

Dawe's architecturallyscaled weavings are often mistaken for fleeting rays of light. It is an appropriatetrick of the eye, as the artist was inspired to use different coloured thread in this fashion, by memories of the skies above Mexico City and East Texas, his childhood and current homes, respectively

The artist does these fascinatingsculptures by assembling thousands upon the ceiling. thousands of individual threads, to build a shimmering, vibrant sculpture.

I really like how in these two pieces he arranged it from the ceiling to look like the threads are the light rays from the round lights and natural lighting on the ceiling.

Gabriel Dawe

I used the artist Gabriel Dawe as inspiration for this piece of art in an effort to produce something that explores on the ideas of light and dimension. I used resin to make this cube and covered it with a blue metallicsheet. I intended for this to concentrateon the idea of the different opinionsand perceptions about migration and immigrants. This intriguing perspective is produced when the transparentcube is placed under a light source, which highlights the blue metallic sheet throughout the entire cube.

AbrahamCruzvillegas

Abraham Cruzvillegas’sartistic process is mostly inspired by his surroundings.

Rather than being defined by a particular medium, many of his projects are linked by the idea of auto-construcción:

These inquiries have led the artist not only to explore his own origins, but to collaboratewith family and friends in a very personal form of research, resulting in a constant process of learning: about materials, landscape,people and himself.

The materials used in these two pieces are: Acrylic painton newspapers, postcards, envelopes, tickets, wraps, drawings, posters, flyers, stickers, card, recipes, prescriptions, maps, napkins and steel pins

I really like how he focuses on one colour instead of addingtoo many colours and making it to complex.

Staircase-lll 2010

in an empty gallery space, the artist Do Ho Suh has set a sculpture which looks like some red stairs, which descends from above, not quite reaching the ground.

The red stairs are Transparent and diaphanous,the fabric that covers the stairs also engulfs the ceiling making the whole room turn this shade of red.

Do Ho Suh’s immersive architectural installations   unexpectedlycrafted with ethereal fabric — arespaces that are at once deeply familiarand profoundly alien.

Suh is internationallyrenowned for his ​“fabric architecture” sculptures that explore the global nature of contemporaryidentity as well as memory, migration, and our ideas of home.

Almost Home

For these sculptures, they are supposed to represent different places that the artist Suh has lived throughout his life again focusing on the .
