Mariana Castillo Deball
Bio
Visual artist Mariana Castillo Deball uses installation, sculpture, photography, and drawing to explore the role objects play in our understanding of identity and history. Engaging in prolonged periods of research and field work, she takes on the role of the explorer or the archaeologist, compiling found materials in a way that reveals new connections and meanings. She recently had her first museum show in New York, Mariana Castillo Deball: Finding Oneself Outside, at the New Museum. The show brought together a newly commissioned work and recent works never before seen in the US.
