GUILLERMORODRIGUEZ
Starting from the discarded and the
banal, I make assemblages of objects
that reincarnate the physical body
and the channels it is perceived
through. Through transformation
and material distress, my sculptures
play with the inherent tension
between the natural versus the
artificial, chance versus the
intentional, and the individual
part versus the whole.
Overall, my work is summed up in
an act that combines the material
and the emotional, it parses the
dissonance between the intimacy and
otherness that can be perceived within
the body, and the way sensations of
safety and strangeness are reflected
in private rituals and a fixed
persona even as we deal with
irremediable impermanence,
memory and decay.
