Event Details

In Soul Vines, Palacios has produced a series of clay and glazed vessels that were fired multiple times to create dynamic, colorful and textured surfaces. In these recent works, natural processes of growth, survival and decay are expressed through the collision and confluence of raw materials – pushed through the process of human intervention. The physicality of the artist’s clay-wrangling and mark-making of improvised forms capture and freeze vine-like tendrils that are in the midst of reaching both inwards and outwards while perched on Palacios’ substantial vessels. And as vines do, they seek and find their way into the world for nourishment and stability. In the natural world, the velocity of this dance is not evident to the eye, yet we know it’s there and its presence is felt. In Palacios’ works, nature’s entelechy is not only suspended for our amazement, but it also hints at aspects of humanity’s own metaphorical root and vine systems – of seeking and reaching through our own personal evolutions for stability and connection within the arc of civilization’s crawl.
