Out of Body Language

Review by Karla García

Being from the border, I found myself within familiar elements such as the arid land of the desert and the open sky. The world that Analise Minjarez creates with clay, drawings, and ceramic objects, transported me to a place of wonder as she explores a natural environment that engages the concept of consciousness. In these works, Minjarez interprets the idea of portals to create connections about our sense of existence. The artworks require quiet contemplation and careful investigation to get a glimpse of this world that she has created for us to move back and forth through these fantastic portals.
