Frances Gallardo Show at Cornell

During her master's at Cornell University, Puerto Rican artist Frances Gallardo presented her solo show: Conduit. With these pieces she studied and explored movement and sound by presenting prints with a river-like fretwork and a circle resembling a hurricane, dragging rocks along his way. We can also see a drawing with graphite and coal, working in a good way with the prints, like leaving a track behind the free flow of the composition.

Frances has always been fascinated by atmospheric events and how these systems are similar to things like handmade skirts. She uses her imagination and applies her cutting techniques, creating detailed lines and forms just with paper.
