“Growings, transforming consciousness materials and lives
This work speaks in first instance of recycling, which means, the transformation of materials that has
already fulfill a function, into materials that can fulfill another function, recovering components that are found in urban waste, to get new products and in that order achieve with them a whole new numberof social benefits such as energy saving and the possibility of living in a more healthy and clean environment.
Society, avid consumer, has been leaving behind footsteps that are testimony of its voracious appetite, and that the artist turn into elaborations where matter acquires a new speech from the approaches she makes about the rehabilitated object.
An important aspect about this material is that it is woven by breadwinners woman with limited resources that, thanks to a foundation co-created by the artist, had found in this occupation worthy economic opportunities, all of which imbues García’s work with content of deep social implications coherent with her idea of changing some functions to another ones.”
