Nora Arrieta: Selected works, 2021-2024

In my work, I examine the emotions and consciousness that surround us in the 21st century: the assimilation of the experiential and the fantastic in real and digital spaces, global mobility and the constantly growing sensory overload of information and consumer goods in an unmanageable network of apps, images, daily news and trends. These aspects of contemporary consciousness have led to a mystification and transfiguration of the environment, a consciousness that has long since become accustomed to the inexplicability of technical entities, the overstraining of the senses and the juxtaposition of history, fiction and reality in everyday life, while still striving for a romantic nature that has long since been lost in its naturalness. However, I also infiltrate these experiences and assessments with humor and irony in order to perhaps also portray this discrepancy between playful joy and dystopia.

My pictorial worlds thematize these interactions and paradigms, drawing on models from the Middle Ages, the Baroque and the magical realism of ceramic works from early high cultures. They are sustained by fired and colored glazed clay, which is intended to transfer and preserve them into a lasting material and cultural memory of our time. The glaze functions as a material and metaphor for emotional states; the viscosity, the flowing surfaces and the color can be read psycologically and serve as a reference to shimmering screens with fluid information.I also use newer techniques such as ceramic 3D printing or photo transfer to incorporate aspects of the digital and the reproducible into my works.
