InFrame – Cristina Cordova from InFrame on Vimeo.

Cristina
Cordova is a sculptor based in North Carolina. Originally from Puerto
Rico, Cordova was studying engineering when she decided to quit her
program and follow her dreams of being an artist. In her picturesque
studio she creates arresting clay figures that are both personal and
universal. Her work is exhibited as part of the permanent collections of
the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Museum
of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico, and the Fuller Craft Museum, among
others.
