Title
Towers And No Return: Towers In Foreground With No Return Against Back Wall
Creator
Description
Centro Cultural Tijuana
Mexico City artist Gabriela López Portillo created a two-part project for inSITE94 installed at the Centro Cultural Tijuana. Entitled "Towers/Torres" and "No Return/No regreso," the two pieces poetically resonated with each other in terms of material and form. "No Return" was a delicate ladder woven from the artist's own hair and suspended in mid-air. The second piece, "Towers," was made of cut and polished black marble pieces stacked to form tapered towers out of which braids of human hair wound like serpents. The artist stated that she wanted to create a piece that drew from her own being and reference the limitations society places on women. --inSITE94
