Eduardo Terrazas: Languages for Navigating Structures

Just about all of us are kept busy translating what we are privileged to witness – life, its setting and its dramas, its joys and its ups and downs—into images visible, exchangeable and maybe mental, even if the latter are obviously trickier to share.
The artist makes a profession out of this, and representing what is beyond our scale, both spatial and temporal, stimulates his imagination and guides his hand, from cave paintings to the present day. In the case of Eduardo Terrazas it is neither more nor less than the entire universe that the artist takes on the task of containing and synthesizing in abstract geometric constructions. In a systematic, apparently limitless combinatorial game, he explores the possibilities offered by compasses, rulers, pencils, paper, acrylic paint and—wool!
