Fabiola Alvarez Yurcisin

Artist

I am an artist that utilizes what human progress sheds.  My work repurposes obsolete recording materials, like typewriter ribbon and video and audio cassette tapes.  The panels, cages, and nets that I weave are reflective surfaces that question the speed in which we produce, consume, and discard our technologies. 

I create objects that respond to systems that want to keep us under control or within certain limits.  By building metaphors that explore the caging relationship we have with the natural world, I explore the impossibility of our superiority to nature.  

Art is my way of translating between the disposable synthetic world, and the cyclical natural world.  I use hi-tech residue to question the sustainability of a society based on consumption.
