Soledad Salame’s concerns about ecology, subject of her monumental solo exhibit traveling to museums throughout Latin America and the U.S., are reflected in these works, whose fluid theme suggests the crucial role of water in our environment. From suggestions of spraying sea-foam to marshland grasses, Salame’s deft hand evokes waves and wetlands from our primordial memories.

| Soledad Salame synergistically combines photographs of pools of water and the inherent coolness of aluminum to create these works, whose images are etched into squares of the metal to reflect a wet, three-dimensional illusion. The process yields a surface that resists stains and abrasions, ideal for public spaces. Other photos are printed onto strips of lenticular plastic, so that as the viewer changes position the liquid looks like it’s flowing and swirling. Click here to

The limited palette of Soledad Salame’s hand-colored digital prints contributes to their resemblance to ice floes or icebergs adrift in a frigid sea. The short strokes of ink and pencil in Salame’s drawings resemble reeds and water lilies, with unusual combinations of textural media contributing an energetic, gritty surface suggesting sandy or muddy banks of a stream or river.
