RICARDO RENDON

Formulating Experience presents a series of sculptures and interventions in the gallery space made of manipulated industrial felts. Trimmed in organic shapes and perforated by hand, the different works appear as testimony of various procedures, wherein diverse actions are performed and documented through the transformation of places and things. The gallery becomes a setting determined by the creative experience, not just by its completed results.

Rendón is interested in the tools and products of physical labour, construction and industry, and their relation to the meaning of work and to the creative process. He manipulates his materials into symbols that reflect the procedures they have endured, so that an understanding of the time and effort involved is part of the viewer's experience. In the completed works, there is a preservation of the fleeting moments of their progressive development.
