Artist's Statement
Marisabel Gonzalez
A totem represents one’s strengths and weaknesses but also connects with one's kinship. It portrays personality, identity,
and family. They carry native symbolism and a profound exploration of my personal journey and persona as I have tried to preserve their history whilst rewriting mine on top.
A broader sense of the term palimpsest and its metaphorical use in various fields—like architecture, archaeology, forensic
science, and art—denotes an object that has been used and altered over time, bearing visible layers of its history and
transformations. With this notion in mind, I have crafted The Totems from discarded construction wood slabs and boards.

De Rerum Natura: On the Matter of Things
Marisabel Gonzalez
4 -28 June
This exhibition explores the intersection of medicine, art, and nature, drawing inspiration from Lucretius' masterwork. Through paintings based on medical imaging, it reveals striking parallels between human anatomy and natural landscapes, suggesting universal patterns connect all life forms. The works challenge boundaries between science and mysticism, proposing that supernatural phenomena are simply natural processes not yet understood.
