Coral Saucedo Lomelí’s work is influenced by personal and poetic visual experiences that make up the everyday. She is interested in recontextualizing overlooked objects and processes and framing them as poetic moments through collecting, disposing, constructing, translating, and recreating. Her sculptures frame situations where systems collapse, question the functionality of objects, explore material relationships, and investigate our relationship to labor. Saucedo Lomelí is interested in creating a new world where we can see the maker’s hand like a poetic mark. She believes we have to find new ways of representing and describing our world, while simultaneously making and describing things that don’t yet exist.
