Griselda Rosas

I create amorphic and intuitive shapes; visually stimulated by flowers, eye organs and urbanite structure. I tend to look into customs to transform colloquial
practices into metaphors of enlarge objects. In sculpture I find the life of
painting evolving into a body that leaves the two dimensional stage, leading
the viewer to experience a communication that is foreign to the canvas. I am
interested in the intimacy of objects and their communication with ordinary
human activities and practices, and the transformation of this into
object-art.
Although my work does not make a direct reference to architectural
space the wall remains the device for its proper display. A cell wall
helps to maintain the cell in shape and it also serves as a liaison to
other cells. In ancient times a wall was a military construction and a
defense device in times of warfare. The wall for my work is the
association between my sculptures and the audience; without the
existence of the wall, my work is meaningless, and it loses its
communication and structural powers. I think that the previous
existence of the wall facilitates the language of my work,. The wall
provides other aspects of abstraction and raises questions of
appropriation; it also extents its materialization to the ends of the
architectural construction and interacts with the optical vision of
the eye.

 

Bio:

Rosas was born and rise in Tijuana Mexico, as a child she crossed the US/Mexican border back and forth in total concordance, changing languages in seconds and adjusting to the modus vivendi of either nation. This constant cultural exchange conducted her to create amorphic and intuitive shapes; visually stimulated by the Tijuana/San Diego natural environment and urbanite structure. She tends to look into customs to transform colloquial practices into metaphors of enlarge objects. In sculpture she finds the life of painting evolving into a body that leaves the two dimensional stage, leading the viewer to experience a communication that is foreign to the canvas. She is interested in the intimacy of objects and their communication with ordinary human activities and practices, and the transformation of this into object-art. 

Currently, she is a grad student at San Diego State University, constantly exhibiting at the San Diego-Tijuana region.
