Jorge Castañón: New Jewelry

Artist list

Working with Alice in Wonderland, I felt those descents into endless holes in the earth, hidden places perhaps, away from light, where one could not know what was truly there. In an instant, everything belonged to the field of doubts. Then I wanted to talk about abundance and suddenly I knew that I was actually talking about what there is not, about sulek-burcu-emptiness-2015, and I found myself again making hollow bowls, cavities full of nothing or almost nothing. After that I have kept looking for hidden sites, old hiding places, cracks, containers of many things and of none at the same time, inhabited by mute presences; now I invent them, try to give them voice. Objects and materials that were on the way to oblivion come back to communicate a minimal story, to construct a new illusion.
