Getting to the center or to cross it to get out of it; linked to the idea of loss, of thread or finding a path; as a religious emblem or esoteric practices related talisman, mazes occupy a special place in the symbolism of different cultures. The artist was in Paris Yamila Marañón -city where he lived for seven years when he came to head the idea of having your own, in which to place their sculptures. Mercury draws a tour throughout the year and the classic maze of seven senses mimics that journey. It is based on the cross and the four cardinal points. It lists the seven colors and has its own musicality, because each path is a note. When entrás you have options, according to your choice, or llegás you return to the center or starting point, serena has Yamila who along with his father-the renowned sculptor Fausto Marañón- shapes the ambitious task of building a park sculptures San Alberto (Uspallata). In the central space, the maze will house four sculptures in ceramic and granite. The artist anticipates that the reasons they are a source of inspiration in the majestic mountainous landscape and relates that, as his father believes that the presence of the mountain requires large size to work, which is the mediator between man and nature. Labyrinths have included the idea of seeking the center itself, a pilgrimage, a journey of initiation. Is that why the sculptor began there: and I placed the center and now I’m working on a series of sculptures that will place inside. So far there is funding themselves (so that the work often advance or delayed by the availability of resources) but is raising funds through the Maranon Foundation, a society without profit organization that aims to spread art and culture, and generate exchanges with artists from different latitudes. I am in the first stage, which involves positioning and demarcation and now I do it alone; in this work, two’s a crowd. He says this last time have read and researched on the subject, noting that in many cases the construction of a labyrinth is usually a winding road, in the sense that its completion is usually surrounded by quite a few avatars. When you ask for the time, who tried to set some answers, but realize this project in a space is a creative process that has its own deadlines. Deadlines will surely have little to do with the times, understood in terms of productivity, at least understood from the capitalist point of view. Source: Diario Los Andes
