Artist Statement/ Biography

Mar Ramon's processual and theoretical research places the materiality of things at the center of interest. The dialogues and the constructive methods depend on the objectual nature that is articulated according to weights, resistances and fragilities. Everything is born from a conscious look around that reads the connotations that each thing brings to the final composition. The body is just another object, stretched, molded, hanging from a thread or placed in precarious conditions. Represented with ceramics, it brings a component of drama and fear of breakage. She looks at the prehensions that are generated between what surrounds us and ourselves and observes how ergonomics designs tools that adapt us and generate an increasingly minimal and determined gestural theater.
