Cecilia Z. Miguez
by Simone Kussatz
2015
Her new exhibit "The Presence of an Absence" includes 18 sculptures. As the title of her show implies, these deal with the absence of an object or, put another way, existence and the presence of a void. This central idea is often suggested through the poses of her elegant and surreal figures, who are either presented alone or in company, gazing sideways into an empty space. Together, they once again reveal Miguez’s great imagination, but also her joy for design, the female figure, and the geometric form, which seem to have been developed from her initial interest in architecture and drawing.
