Introduction
Teresa Solar Abboud has established a distinctive position in contemporary sculpture. Her works let viewers enter a fantastic world of shifting relationships between forms, colors and bodies. Vaguely familiar shapes appear suspended in their surroundings, without reference to scale, human or otherwise. A gentle curve of one of her sculptures, for example, can hold echoes of single-cell lifeforms, tiny sea creatures, marine animals, the fin of a whale, a human limb and mechanical tools. Familiar and strange, endearing and vaguely threatening, the works hold these readings in flux.
