about

New Mexico sculptor Paula Castillo is a priestess of postmodern metallurgy, recombining the scrap and detritus of Industry into abstract sculptures that quietly reckon with earth and man.Castillo’s sculptures manage to turn steel byproduct into morphous shapes that are often organic or animated. Her materials are repurposed and recycled, yet the past lives and stories of the scrap lurk and echo within like an untold story of aspiration and waste.

Most folks don’t realize that every drop of wate Most folks don’t realize that every drop of water in the Rio Grande is owned by a procession of governing bodies even before it falls as rain or snow from the sky. Not a single drop is allocated to the river herself. Shouldn't she be entitled to some of the water she carries?

Join us to tithe back to the Rio Grande on Saturday, September 10th, at the following locations and times:

Albuquerque Alameda Pedestrian Bridge at 9:00 am.

Please meet our group Alameda Bridge West Parking lot at 1465 Alameda Blvd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114. Find us with traffic cones on the east end of the parking lot @ 9:00 am for important information before the event begins.

We will supply New Mexico well water! Please bring your own water containers! 

Then meet us up in Española at 1:00 pm. 

Find us with traffic cones on the east corner of the Española Transit Center Parking Lot, Española, NM 87532 @ 1:00 pm for important information before the event begins.

My solo exhibition “Clementina” opens in the m My solo exhibition “Clementina” opens in the main gallery @kouricorrao Kouri + Corrao this Friday, August 19, 2022. 

The armature of this work, Buttress, is inspired by the remaining forms on the mission churches at Isleta and Rancho de Taos. The surface of Buttress was developed using over ten thousand small handmade paper constructions, and is inspired by abstractions of contemporary settlements at Ohkay Owingeh and Isleta. Many of these constructions are covered with drawings given to me by children I have taught throughout the state who live along the Rio Grande corridor. This piece traces and distills a New Mexican narrative, especially as it relates to our youth in the 21st Century. 

Buttress, 2022 | Paula Castillo | expanded polystyrene, archival cotton rag paper, oil pastel, pencil, acrylic paint, epoxy resin | 132 x 81 x 48 inches | contact for price

Join us from 5-7pm for the opening reception this Friday, August 19, 2022 at Kouri + Corrao in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
