Carmen Tapia

Statement

Her creative process starts from investigating and manipulating the topological and plasticity properties of two-dimensional surfaces; by means of folds and pleats, she creates three-dimensional forms to which she applies dynamic forces such as torsion, elongation or contraction, thereby obtaining a harmonic geometric order very similar to the order of natural organic forms. Carmen works with models made of flexible and malleable materials, such as paper and wax, which then are transferred to silver by techniques such as lost wax casting and forging. These techniques, and the ability of silver to reflect the light, allow her to create light and luminous laminar surfaces and organic membranes, resulting in the creation of comfortable and easy-to-use pieces in large formats.
