June 8 — July 30
In a series titled "Pygmalion Effect," Almudena Rodriguez explores the psychological idea that greater expectations lead to better performance. Her magical collision of cultural signifiers generates a dream world left open for interpretation.
These mixed media on fabric works layer pop culture images and messages ranging from comic book illustrations to vibrant army fatigue patterns.
By extracting images, logos and slogans from popular culture, Rodriguez layers disparate notions to distance us from our assumptions and help us reflect about who we are and what we believe in.
"Through recycling and fragmentation, I search for connections in images that initially appear disconnected."
—Almudena Rodriguez
