Saúl Hernández-Vargas
Nothing Left of Us in the Wilderness (No queda nada para nosotros en la espesura)
Cecily E. Horton Gallery
In Nothing Left of Us in the Wilderness (No queda nada para nosotros en la espesura), Saúl Hernández-Vargas recalls familial intimacy and political resistance through his “Plates” series, which he created with distinct Oaxaca mud samples, and wax repurposed from his grandfather’s (Alfonso Vargas Sánchez) jewelry practice. In this exhibition, Hernández-Vargas engages a deeply interpersonal narrative that invites viewers to interrogate the Mexican State’s usage of pre-Hispanic jewels to promote a homogenous identity and, consequently, a unified political identity.
