Artist Statement for Gloria Achucarro

Artist Statement:
Upon surrendering to my clay with a playful spirit I have come to find one of the greatest pleasures of my daily work: an awareness of the “here and now”. In this state of consciousness I enter a realm of magical reality where limitless possibilities await me.
It is foremost a need to communicate with myself, with my true self. It is the joy of this connection, of the weakening of that inner wall that divides me from my core, that fuels my enthusiasm, imagination, and creativity. The force of this joy leads me on a path of increasingly deeper, more integrated, and all-encompassing goals.
The nude figures in my work represent my inner nakedness, they invite all beings to invoke their own process of discovery, their own contact with themselves. I attempt to challenge and permanently weaken the dividing wall of the human soul, the barrier that universally resists the shedding of doubts, weaknesses, and vulnerability, and leads us to feel that it is dangerous to step into the light, expose oneself, simply to be. Upon reaching that inner hollowness, nakedness, we can allow the divine substance of the Creator, the Spirit, to fill us and lay roots within us.
Gloria Achucarro .
