Hugo Moro: In the Current
Confronted with deprivations in rural Cuba during childhood, Moro learned to create playthings from discards and weave together their origin stories. In his contemporary practice, he embellishes these narratives and connects them with impressions of his own relational dynamics.
In the Current showcases suspended, wall-mounted, and freestanding compositions made from parts and pieces of reclaimed furniture. Arms, legs, backs, and ears, all anthropomorphic in nature, are fastened into pairs and groups to embody deeply personal as well as universal truths about our interactions with one another and the environments we inhabit. Moro intuitively recognizes and elevates the energies unique to each object he touches, drawing viewers into his drama while inviting them to conjure their own.
