Working with materials that have transformative properties, such as clay, metal and textiles, I create sculptural assemblages that serve as a symbolic bridge between my selfhood of today to the liminal space of tomorrow.
Bethany Cordero (b.1979, Covington, Kentucky) is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist and a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she studied sculpture and fiber and material studies. Her work seeks to embody the essence of being while exploring issues of identity, memory, and the impermanence of self. Each iteration is equally referential and abstract, and serve as containers for space, composition and the inherent congruency and contradictions between her past and the present.
