Overview

Through ink drawing, María Ossandón reworks the miniature scenes or landscapes found in each broken piece of ceramics, linking universal memories with personal experiences, thus creating an almost archival representation -while still being subjective- of these landscapes.

Just as memory is witness of a singular moment or a scene, of a break in linearity, of a sound or a smell that affects perception, the body that creates or guards it is always selective, it never reaches totality. The archaeologist who dedicates himself to recovering or reuniting these fragments reconstructs new scenes, which emerge from the context that gave rise and meaning to these fragments, now floating in the spaces of science or museums.
