Carolina Sardi
Bio
Sardi was born in Argentina and was educated at the National University of La Plata, in Argentina, then studied with the sculptor Ennio Iommi. Sardi moved to Miami in 1995, and first took a studio space at the Art Center on Lincoln Road. Later on she moved her studio to Little Haiti.
She has also been included in the prestigious Heavy Metal exhibition at the National Museum for Women in the Artist in Washington, D.C.
She is best known for her wall installations comprised of organic elements cut from steel and aluminum. She plays with the effects of volume, light and shadow, adding to the work another layer of possibilities. In a recent series she uses polished gold, copper, or chrome surfaces, in which the viewers can find their own reflections, thereby introducing a variety of added readings.
Statement
My pieces are about the deep connection between every component of the universe. We are all made of the same atoms and the same elementary particles that vibrate and fluctuate between existence and non-existence.
We are continually interacting with one and another and in doing so we become who we are. We carry within ourselves our individual history, but also our ancestral and universal history.
