JUNE CANEDO SOUZA, ELISA LUTTERAL , SOFIA QUIRNO
Praxis NY
June, Elisa, and Sofia each approach their practice as tactile and process-driven, positioning materiality as the source of inquiry. While their methods differ, they share an understanding that deconstructing the assigned meanings of materials can be a productive way to engage with a world in deep transition. Referring to how physical gestures, bodily presence, and material interaction are central to questions about form, each method is interested in understanding the tension between containment and expansion, structure and collapse. In their practices, they explore what it means to reconsider inherited frameworks to think of ways of connecting, perceiving, and existing as artists that may be more fruitful for a cultural moment increasingly defined by fragmentation and disembodiment.
