Biography

Edith Garcia’s work draws you into an alluring world of installation and sculpture. She focuses on the unique individual experiences throughout our lifetimes, the minimal occurrences that transpire each day, addressing humanity’s ontology and grafting them into site-specific installations and objects. Her body of work has been exhibited throughout North America, Mexico, and Europe, in spaces such as the Gimpel Fils, London, Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas, Mexico City, and is included in the permanent Sculpture Garden of the Archie Bray Foundation, Montana.

Garcia is strongly engaged in the critical research of contemporary art and crafts with curatorial projects, publishing, and creating works that reflect this passion. Garcia received her BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, MFA from the California College of the Arts, and MPhil at the Royal College of Art in London working on research focusing on The Absence and Presence of the Human Form in Ceramic Sculpture-Where is the Vanishing Point. And her first major publication Ceramics and the Human Figure was released worldwide by Bloomsbury. To learn more visit edithgarciastudio.com.
