WOOD AS MEANING, FUNCTION AND MEMORY
Wood Workshop
- Paula Silva Ruvalcaba
- GUADALAJARA, Mexico
- This workshop is about language, function and memory and how do I become aware of my own narrative. Also, it is about wondering on meanings. About slow motion and fast motion. About rhythm. How long does it take to grow a tree capable of caressing us with its shadow? How do I relate to nature and objects? How do I handle transformation? This is a workshop about working on wood very softly and slowly. Very roughly too, sometimes. I would like to find some basic and essential meanings to remember why is it that we need that much.
BIO
Paula Silva Ruvalcaba was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. As an artist, she works in different media, such as photography, design, video and installation. Her main interest always lays in transformation and cycles. She dedicated a long period of time to documentary filmmaking, which is why she remains very eager to experiment with the way she interacts with reality, as a place of perception.
She is now designing furniture, just to redefine again how is she related to memory, meaning and function. She was granted with a Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes, FONCA Fellowship (2004-2005). Her work has been exhibited in Mexico, Canada, South Africa, Netherlands, Argentina and Spain.
