Sandra Vásquez de la Horra Makes Tanya Bonakdar Gallery Debut With 'Reading the Waves'
'Reading the Waves,' featuring new creations by Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, is currently being showcased at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery. This exhibition represents the artist's inaugural collaboration with the gallery. Central to Vásquez de la Horra's work is drawing, which serves as a means to build a poetic visual realm that highlights the relationship between humanity and the environment. Her inspirations include spiritual myths, folklore, religious symbols, and imagery from Latin American culture. She also explores various healing traditions and indigenous wisdom, fostering a deeper understanding of our connection to nature. Her artistic technique involves dipping pieces in beeswax or crafting accordion-like sculptures, which alters the paper's form while preserving its transparency, creating a sense of movement and lightness.
