Teresita Fernández
Teresita Fernández expansively rethinks what constitutes landscape. Her artistic practice and research move from the subterranean to the cosmic, from political borders to the elusive psychic landscapes people carry within. Unraveling the intimacies between matter, human beings, and locations, through large-scale sculptures, site-specific installations, film, and works on paper that are all materially and historically driven, Fernández’s work poetically challenges ideas of power, visibility, and erasure in connection to site and landscape.VIEW ARTIST
