Absence + Presence: Edith Garcia
4 – 28 November 2010

Los Angeles born Edith Garcia's work comprises installation and sculpture. For the Project Space she presents her new series of work, Absence + Presence, exploring the relationship between the human form and abstraction. In erasing features, removing limbs, expanding scale, and joining together internal and external bodily parts, she creates three-dimensional figures and objects in clay that move away from familiar images of the human form.

Inspired by everyday life, her work combines installation and sculpture, and currently derives from what she refers to as 'contemporary monsters'.

Edith Garcia is currently artist-in-residence at Leon School and Sports College, Bletchley.
