About the Item

Rueda is part of Metates a work composed of two volcanic stone sculptures that explore wear as the trace of a relationship: between objects, between people, between time and matter. Inspired by the metates or grinding stones—tools found across almost every culture since the dawn of humanity—these pieces evoke the primal act of grinding, rubbing and carving as a means of transformation and progress. Rather than simply replicating traditional instruments, the sculptures focus on those metates marked by years of use. The interest lies in the eroded surfaces, in the way two bodies, through constant friction, generate a third form: a cavity, a void, or an imprint that binds them precisely, rarely allowing any other object to take its place. In this way, the sculptures condense the memory of friction—not as an act of erosion, but as a process of encounter.
