Lorena Ancona


(Quintana Roo, MX – 1981)

Visual artist working with sculpture and ceramics, weaving through the historiography of Mesoamerican dyes, pigments, natural materials and places. Her work is the result of a research-based practice that questions intangible displacements from forgotten traditions, heritage and identities. Using speculative techniques as an artistic methodology her works seeks a potential for knowledge in the analysis and identification of mineral and ethnic bio-cultural surroundings. Recent projects have taken a particular interest in the archaeological contexts and technological evidences of a synthetic organo-mineral (clay) pigment known as Mayan Blue, a research understood as part of an extended narrative in which the artistic gesture can give form to potential representations and stories which reintroduce forgotten materialities that would otherwise be lost in history.
