Alex Valero’s practice aims to expand the sculptural possibilities of glass by pushing and combining traditional techniques in unconventional ways. In his first solo exhibition, Valero investigates the relationship between medium and mind, creating a landscape that invites the viewer into the depths of grey uncertainty and existential doubt. Valero says he has attempted to capture in physical form, the questions that bounce around in his mind “problems of perspective, of infinite regress, of fuzzy definitions, and of broken metaphors.”
