Leda Cruz

The works by Leda Cruz, eye-witnesses of great intimacy, remain true to their discourse of corporality from a female perspective. The observer is led to a private space and witnesses moments and gestures that are identified with the female universe. Just like her maps printed on silk paper, in which the intersection of concepts , lines and forms compete to decipher this universe, Leda Cruz manipulates and transforms feminine objects to give them new meaning. Adept at combining distinct mediums such as barbed wire and glass, Leda creates objects , creating a sense of unease over its potential use.
