Remaking, Re-mothering, and Transformation
Her Forms of Other, the solo exhibition by Carmen Argote presented at Commonwealth and Council features new works from an ongoing series called Mother which explore sculpture forms, memories of her past, meditativeness and ritual. Argote’s practice delves into her own psychic landscape, her own body, her trauma and her inner child as a means of healing, creating and reconciling with the world. She makes protectors and comforting objects—sculptures which become alive as they are formed through actions, symbols, gestures and entangled or embodied through her psychological processes. Her rituals, art and processes ultimately reflect and entangle with her emotional or spiritual states.
