Alonso Sierralta

My training started in painting, that attention soon turned to the realm of sculpture where it has captivated me for the last ten years. My most recent body of work reflects my experience as an immigrant. The work is not meant to be a political commentary, but rather a visual representation of ransplantation using organic forms and natural motifs:  pods, seeds, grass, mushrooms, roots, etc.   

The examination of ambiguous, yet familiar forms such as seed-bearing fruits and vegetables, pollen, root systems, etc. are used to create the idea of dispersion and growth symbolizing relocation and prosperity in another land.

Vertigo is not a good friend
The electric bass does not like me either
I have secret conversations with the cats

A quote of admiration:

                             art
                           earth
                         hearth
                         heart
                             art                    
                                             David Nash.
