Sylvia Hughes-Gonzales, Glimmerous

​

Sylvia Hughes-Gonzalez assembles objects associated with joy and celebration, such as metallic streamers, tropical foliage, and wildflowers, and combines them into abstracted sculptural installations often suspended in mid-air. Displayed out of context, alone and adrift on the breeze, these forms and materials become both beautiful and ghostly, suggesting a memory, a haunting, or a grief for times and lives past.

Sylvia Hughes-Gonzalez收集與歡樂和慶祝相關的物品，例如金屬彩帶、熱帶樹葉和野花，並將它們組合成懸掛在半空中的抽象雕塑。作品無規則地展示，並隨風擺動，這種形態和物料既美麗又孤獨，代表著對過去的時光和生活的記憶揮之不去或悲傷。

Sylvia Hughes-Gonzales創作雕塑和致力於社會行動，來傳達慶祝、拆除以及它們相交的方式等主題。她製作物品、裝置並在城市空間中的遊行來探索隱形、款待、失落和集體悲傷的力量。她目前居住在加州屋崙。
