TERESITA FERNÁNDEZ

3rd June - 4th September 2005

The work of Teresita Fernández (Miami, Florida, 1968) finds its inspiration in nature, in its constant changes and the astounding shapes, textures and colours that emerge from the infinite combinations of the universal elements: water, earth, air and fire. In her work, nature is represented as an artistic spectacle, worth seeing and admiring.

This exhibition at CAC Málaga is dedicated to fire, undoubtedly the most enigmatic ­ because it is so untouchable, so violent ­ of the elements. The central work is the one entitled Fire (2005), an extraordinary installation in the shape of a ring of fire formed by a metal structure and threads of silk. The piece, which creates an optical illusion of transparency and density of colour, was made during her time at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia.

The installation is accompanied by a series of drawings on wood (smoke) which represent, among other motifs, the different ranges of colours taken by smoke, and another on paper (signals) which reflects the forms it adopts according to the atmospheric conditions in which it is produced. The show is rounded off by Cadmio, a wall piece made of small cubes of glass which recall the crystallisation of minerals, as well as two floor works (Eruption) which represent volvanic eruptions, made of wood, small glass beads, aluminium and vinyl.
