THE MIND IS A HOME



In our society, working and doing chores do not refer to the same. Although they are almost synonym words, their meanings differ in the daily use. Between the officious and the worker there is a difference of intensity; While what is considered is fulfilled in specific moments of the day, the officious expands and involves all aspects of life. At times it is difficult to draw the edge between the officious and his occupation, because the place and the routine begin to merge with the person. Even the individual could come to equate the way of ordering the place with the way of structuring the mind. Who make the chores sometimes warns that there is not so much difference between organizing and doing the cleaning with clarifying and arranging the ideas that arise daily. This position allows the officious to discover the power he has in his hands by preserving order or rethinking it , to penetrate those logical consequences that perpetuate the disposition of things and to undermine its seemingly inevitable and unique estructure. Things do not have a single way of being, to promote leisure and doubt begin to emerge as a possibility, to rethink the idea of the legacy, to flee from professionalization and certainty, to reconquer the personal time, to hack everyday, to break into a system and make use of the fragility of its structure to redirect it, to improve it or to collapse it.

Yugo corrosivo From an art workshop aimed at children and older adults, came up the idea of doing dioramas, from recycled materials, which initially described domestic scenes and gradually became chronicles about the decomposition suffered by our society. When i look back, I realize that it has been a process: first as a housewife satisfying the needs of the home in terms of decoration and beautification of it, then as a craftswoman to know techniques and materials and apply them in various projects, an at last, the point where i find myself as a miniaturist. All these facets has filled me with pride and satisfaction, for i have climbed them with dedication and love.

Gym at home/Receipts She just wants everything to be perfect. And knows how to bite her tongue... And knows how to slip on the chairs... And hide behind the furniture. But... It smells like food and Rey soap... not from the king... Just Rey. The soup cools and lacks coriander, And the crockery continues to grow inside the dishwasher.

Salón de altura “Hers is a very honest and rich art” Antonio Caro, at the inauguration of the project La Cooperativa, 2012. “... The original and loving occurrences of Mrs Rosita (...) Reveal a broad look that invites us to question where to stand to qualify what is or is not the aesthetic experience and who is responsible for delineating it” Dominique Rodríguez Dalvard, on the catalogue of the cycle of exhibitions: “Las Edades”, 2012. “When it was difficult to get someone to help us at home i quit my job and i was completely dedicated to raising my children and taking care of the home. So as not to feel confined I began to go to classes of dressmaking, pastry, pastillaje... it was the only academy that allowed me to take my children to class, I could not afford to stop being a mom, not even for a couple of hours” Rosita Alfonso, cooking dinner in 2016.
