MLitt Fine Art Practice School of Fine Art
chema
chema is an interdisciplinary artist working with found material. part intuition, part research, their practice reflects an approach they call ‘recreating geographies’
this practice manifests itself primarily in installation, sculpture and photography. their use of the found and the discarded transforms material into a critique of the contemporary overconsumption and destruction of the natural environment
‘recreating’ refers to the inherently artificial process of making in their work, a tendency to draw from what’s already there, and how their materials are often human-made. ‘geographies’ because of the use of space: site-specific installation, critiquing the role of the artist in the studio, or drawing on real-life development and destruction
Works
el mar de plástico
beached almerian polyethylene sheeting, scrap metal, graphite
individually, each object references a point of origin. as a group, they form a body which is intrinsic and objective. objects made for themselves, thru a process based in research and intuition. their context made them for what they are, tho it does not define them. i ask of you not to define the work but to enjoy it. thank you
cubierta de polietileno de la playa almeriense, chatarra, grafito
individualmente, cada objeto tiene como referencia un punto de origen. como grupo, forman un trabajo intrínseco y objetivo. objetos hechos para sí mismos, a través de un proceso de investigación e intuición. el contexto les hace ser, aunque no los defina. te pido que no definas el trabajo sino que lo disfrutes. gracias
