URBAN MINING: EUROIDIOMAS, LIMA, PERU
Installation on view at Fundacion Euroidiomas, Miraflores Lima - Peru, 2011
Cunningham transforms discarded found materials such as structural fragments, a kind of “Urban Mining,” and preserves the qualities of found materials with the material history inscribed in their surface. The tactile sensibility of her work comes from her interest in the qualities of materials, observed or found. In the wall-constructions she fuses relief elements, such as exposed structural fragments or sand-cast bronze, shaped by the physical process of the pour.
These installations are concerned with time, transience and contradictions.
