Icaro Maiterena
Icaro Maiterena’s ceramic sculptures are cartographies of a lived moment. Each piece is a fossil of the gesture of skin-earth contact. Destructive and constructive processes that generate the landscape we inhabit. Geomorphological cosmogony. Hands sinking into the clay. Soft, delicate kneading. Blows causing tectonic plates to collide. The amazement, the fascination of an intimate, respectful and loving human-telluric interrelation that constitutes the essence of our reality, fossilized in a work that, appearing abstract, kinetically shows us representative and expressive vestiges of the origin, transformations and current tectonic behaviour of our planet. immersed in climate change.
