You Like Things to Be Easy Print by María José Castillo

$18.00

A quote about the full installation work, of which this print is one part of:

"For this print and installation artwork, I have chosen twenty sentences that have been said to me at some point, which have stayed with me as anchors of memorable moments in my life.

Our memories constitute our history. When we analyze the link between memory and language, it is worth considering how our use of language influences the way we store our knowledge and how we access it over time. On the same note, the way we relate to events in our timeline and where they have occurred can be seen as a subjective narrative that interacts deeply with the language we use." -María José Castillo

9" x 16.5"

*Consignment item. Not eligible for 10% membership discount. All consignment purchases are final and non-refundable once shipped.

María José Castillo (they/them & she/her) is a graphic designer and visual artist with a body of work that feeds off of their curiosity with language and communication. Their conceptual approach incorporates the analysis of cultural background related to the way we read the written word, not only as a functional element in a discourse, but also as an object existing in a spatial field. María José’s work is heavy on formal exploration of type and shape, with a particular emphasis on how type, layout, and color affect the way a message is read. They also dive deep in a quirky and colorful universe with their illustration work, often accompanied by lettering exploration.

Accessibility

MCBA believes that access to the arts and art education should be available to all individuals. Our facilities are ADA accessible and we strive to make our programs enjoyable for all. We are happy to provide special accommodations upon request.

Thank you

MCBA's educational and artistic programming is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant and an Arts Education grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Additional support is provided by other private funders, MCBA members, and individuals like you.
