I first encountered Florencia Escudero’s work at NADA in Miami in 2022, where she exhibited small scale hand sewn sculptures. The work lived somewhere between an organic being and birthed from the internet. Her sculptures are highly detailed but not overworked, they feel familiar and wildly unknown at the same time. Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with with Escudero about her studio practice and how she lives her life as an artist in New York City. Her next solo exhibition at Kristen Lorello Gallery and a simultaneous show at Rachel Uffner, will both open in April of this year. Escudero’s work is mixed media, rooted in textiles, sculpture, and image manipulation. Her life of observation fuels a rich repository of image collections, full of absurdities of the internet, daily advertisements, and bodily forms.
