SEDIMENTOS
(Sediments)
Sedimentation as a topic for reflection. The sediments of organic and mineral materials are forming through thousands of years of petrification, and then known as sedimentary rocks. Unlike igneous rocks, these are the process of the magma that, when coming to the surface in the form of lava, hardens in a very short time. Sometimes we sit on a sedimentary rock and the process of millions of years that led to these particles crystallizing and amalgamating into something that humans have taken advantage of in many different ways does not come to mind. Sometimes any reasoning serves as a theme in artistic production when an electron microscope is used to observe these sediments, iridescent colors appear and that is why I applied them in this work of art and that it depends closely on the angle of incidence in which is observed.
The same thing happens with stone fossils, where the organic substance is replaced by minerals without losing its original shape.
Instead, some congeners have transformed it directly into sculptures, high and low artistic reliefs or semantic symbols, religious or ornamental symbols in construction as well as metaphorical rocks such as onyx or marble.
