"Con Cariño" which translates to “with love” or “with care,” is an homage to Guadalupe Hernandez's parents, who abandoned their homeland in search of a brighter future for their family. The accompanying pieces weave together fragments of their journey and the various forms of labor they undertook to provide their children with the opportunities they were denied.
Central to Hernandez's practice is the use of chisels and punches, which wield a dual significance in this body of work. The physicality of using the chisel mirrors the repetitive and labor-intensive endeavors of her parents, while the level of skill, precision, and care required to produce these delicate designs serve as a visual representation of he love and admiration for their sacrifices.
Ultimately, "Con Cariño" is a tribute to Hernandez's parents. who have toiled tirelessly in search of “El Sueño Americano.”
The exhibition will be on display through November 3.
