Catalina Bauer "Celosías" (Lattices)

Catalina Bauer "Celosías", was exhibited at "As much as possible", an exhibition curated by Luisa Fuentes Guaza that invites reflection on our ability to adapt and change our immediate environment to the extent that we inhabit.

Catalina Bauer's work illustrates a consistent preoccupation with daily routine and working lives, through the use of everyday materials, to dramatic and sublime effect.
With a clear interest in process and transformation, Bauer focuses on a specific and functional, yet sensorially pleasing material for each work. She then sets about applying a series of hand-worked manipulations, often painstaking, labour intensive processes, transforming objects and so granting them new life.
These works incorporate natural elements, inferring a notion of temporality and change, with objects of industrial production, with the intent of finding some kind of poetic balance between the two. Catalina Bauer lives and works in Santiago, Chile.
