Entanglement (A Silver Thread)
After the exhibitions 'Hot Links' and 'De oro en su núcleo', in which we have shown different works by Esther Merinero (Madrid, 1994) at Pradiauto, we are pleased to present in Artesantander a solo project by the artist with a selection of pieces made in 2021 and 2022.
The name of the project, 'Enredo (Un hilo de plata)', responds to her constant interest in delving into the links between objects, bodies and stories. Through portals, jewels, nuts, puddles, keys or chains, Merinero's work is a speculation on the magical capacity of the object to transport and become memory. The project offers a panoramic view of his recent work in different techniques: resin and aluminium sculptures, metallic stitch and cyanotype.
