Spark Arts is pleased to host Michelle Echenique in our gallery for the month of November.
Michelle Echenique's work is about the marriage of disparate elements: paint and paper, rope and cardboard, wood and metal. She searches for points of connection between the differences and weaves them together to form a new, cohesive whole.
While leaning toward the abstract she often utilizes recognizable imagery: letter forms, doilies and maps. She has a stash of materials, an ongoing collection, made up of anything that catches her eye: shopping bags, wrappers, cardboard boxes, bits of metal and wood. These scraps, with their inherent histories, often provide the starting point for a piece. Using materials found in San Francisco evokes a specificity of place, but through manipulation the connection becomes hazy, an echo that feels familiar and unknown at once.
Join us to toast Michelle as she brings Collage and Assemblage to our Castro gallery.
