BOSCO SODI
Sodi has described his creative process as controlled chaos that makes something completely unrepeatable and unique. In his most celebrated body of work the artist mixes raw pigment with sawdust wood pulp and natural fibers to create the dense surfaces of monochrome paintings. As the layers of material dry fissured landscapes form without the guidance or intervention of the artist. Sodi s sculptural process reflects traditions of his Mexican heritage. At his studio Casa Wabi in Oaxaca he uses raw earth clay to create kiln-fired cubes spheres and bricks. Stacked into columns as minimalist sculpture or assembled as a field or wall these projects range in scale from architectural installations to earthworks. Sodi also collects solidified volcanic magma from the Ceboruco volcano to make rock sculptures. These fragments are coated in a ceramic glaze and precious metals uniting geological processes with art-making techniques. This book reflects Sodi s distinct material processes with essays detailing his relationship to Oaxacan and wabi-sabi aesthetics as well as his engagement with artistic traditions ranging from minimalism to arte povera to land art.

MP Yes, it's been a puzzle to solve.
GA Have you thought about what it might be like at different times of day and night?
MP I've thought about it. But I mean, it's all guesswork at this point. The portholes could be thought of as a constellation of light, like stars. But they'll be large, and along with the view out, they’ll deliver light in separate units, maybe shafts or beams of light, at various times. I don't like to predict what's going to happen before it’s finished, because I haven't done it in a predictive way. It's been all very intuitive.
GA There will be a feeling that the sculpture is embracing you, given that all the holes converge on one point; when you stand there, they are all in your sight line. Underneath the night sky, and all the stars sending their light to you, from all th
