performance WWG — Estefanía Álvarez Ramírez

WORK. WOOD. GOOD.
Anyway, finishing is never finished

WORK. WOOD. GOOD. is a response to Estefanía’s necessity to create a context in which her different creative practices intertwine. Where making and crafting are at the heart of the process. What does it mean to make something with your own hands? Between the roles of craftsperson, maker, designer and inconstant being she seeks for a place among her built and unbuilt constructions, her endless dealing with inhabiting and becoming.

Supporting the broken yet remaining unbreakable
Tormented sculpture in scale and perspective
Becoming is a desire
Uprooting. Relocating. Inhabiting.
Care in the construction, then grieve. Deformation.
Traces of pain and disillusion. Delusion.
A ground for nostalgia. Perform the transformed.
