María Ignacia Edwards: Uni-versos

María Edwards’ work has its origin in her will of assuming herself as an active observer of the world, from her own exercises of discarding and selection to the crossing of relationships and encounters, her long bicycle rides and her deep interest in the stars, the scientific and philosophical thought. From all these references arises the idea of “grid”, like a vast weft of spatially interconnected points, as in a constellation. The sky map traced in the Earth ́s surface by means of its paths. Her work is characterized by its coherence and consistency, which begins with the recognition of that which has been discarded and unnoticed, and ultimately with the ethics and dignity in which each of these recovered fragments of the world are brought back again to its presence, transfigured and reinterpreted by the artist ́s will.
