Sparagmos Series — Andrea Reynosa

Sparagmos Series, 1992-1994, was created during Andrea Reynosa's tenure as Foundry Technician and Graduate Student at the University of Arizona at Tucson. Having 24 hour access to a lost wax cermic shell facility, Reynosa was able to explore various organic burn out techniques of native Sonoran Desert vegetation leading up to the series Snake Charmer, 1994, and Crown of Ether, 1994, pushing the ceramic shell medium process to an extreme. Sparagmos Series was influenced by feminine academic explorations into realms of Dionesian Rituals, Bataille's notions of Transgression, Suzi Gablick's writings on The Reenchantment of Art and Karl Jung and Mircea Eliade's reflections on psychological and physical alchemical and metillurgical processes.
