Monica Mercedes Martinez – everyone is fallen except for us fallen…

Artist Statement
researching the 1973 Chilean military coup. I learned that the military
would take the bodies of their victims up in helicopters and throw them on
the peaks of the Andes Mountains, into the Pacific Ocean or onto the vast
emptiness of the Atacama Desert in order to dispose of the evidence
of their crimes.
the Andes, in particular, reminded me of the human sacrifices made by the
pre-Columbian Inca people who once inhabited the area. However, this
time the sacrifice was made to political dogma instead of for
religious reasons. But both sacrifices were made to maintain
the power of the ruling classes so the parallels, to my mind at
least, are poignant.
shape, are constructed from terracotta and porcelain. These white
bone-like forms are wrapped in terracotta bindings impressed with the
texture of fabric, referencing the burial shrouds found in the few mass graves
to which the military eventually admitted and also to the Incan mummies
found in the Andes.
before offering them to the sky, demonstrating their preciousness. My
meditative act of binding these cross forms in strips of material is essential

those who remained behind.
intrinsic role in her artistic practice. As a South American who grew up on the
Canadian Prairies, she uses her practice to facilitate discussion about the
historical foundations that we exploit to define who we are and where we
belong.
For Monica Mercedes Martinez’s MFA show, “everyone is fallen except us
fallen…” she utilizes her innate sense of materials and experimental processes
to explore events that lead to the Chilean coup in 1973. Her exhibition
showcases a large sculpture which is the result of years of research and
experimentation.

“This modish and very chic exhibition places the work of world-famous
designer, Eva Zeisel (born in 1906), side by side with contemporary
ceramic designers such as David Pier, Heather Mae Erickson, Peter
Saenger, Shawn Spangler, Hiroe Hanazono, Mia Mulvey, Karen Swyler, Marek
Cecula, Klein Reid and many others who favor a minimalist aesthetic,
producing clean, simplistic forms, organic curves and orderly
compositions that reference nature by design.”
