Description
Sculpture and Installations Decorative Arts, Utilitarian Objects and Interior Design For her inSITE94 project Mexico City artist Yolanda Gutierrez created a total of forty-five iron clouds, which she suspended from the ceiling of the Santa Fe Depot waiting room. Each of the clouds was covered in animal bone, delicately suggesting, according to the artist, a contemplation of the journey from life to death. The installation entitled "Just Passing Through/De Paso," composed of various sized clouds, suggests motion through space and life as constant movement. --inSITE94 Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://lib.ucsd.edu/sca) This image is a scan of a 35mm color slide from the InSite Archive (MSS 707, Box 309, Folder 05, Item 140) [Title, Date].
