Claudia Fernández Mexico, 1965

Para mi la abstracción esta en todos lados y en todos los niveles. Nuestra mente o nuestro conocimiento sólo percibe algunos tipos de abstracción, pero si ahondamos en éste tema, lo pensamos y observamos, nuestra vida esta rodeada de abstracción.

For me, abstraction is everywhere and at every level. Our mind or knowledge can just perceive some types of abstraction, but if we go deeper into the subject, think about it and observe it, our everyday life is surrounded by abstraction.

: Claudia Fernández, “God’s Eye”, 2013, Cosmic Tree (2013) is a “god’s eye” that has been altered in its scale and color palette. Accompanying this “god’s eye” there is an overlapping stone structure, embedded in the museum’s courtyard. The stones from which it is made come from country fields of the state of Morelos, stones that urbanites not often see in their daily transit through the city, Variable dimensions.
