Marcia Espinosa Explores Thresholds in Umbrales at Stala Contemporary
Marcia Espinosa, a Perth-based artist, is presenting her exhibition titled "Umbrales" at Stala Contemporary in Western Australia from October 10 to 31, 2026. Her collection features charcoal drawings and clay sculptures, delving into the idea of thresholds—both as physical structures and as symbols of change. Espinosa's work spans ceramics, installation, painting, and sculpture, blending everyday objects with themes of folklore, media, and consumerism to encourage reflection on social relationships and systems. Influenced by memories of ancient temples and Andean scenery, as well as sacred geometry and the connection between land and sky, one standout piece is "Ascent," 2026, made from stoneware and glazes, measuring 50 × 22 × 15cm, supported by Stala Contemporary and the artist.
