Collective Consciousness by Miki Rodriguez
Emergence by Miki Rodriguez
Red Sky in the Morning by Miki Rodriguez
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Born and raised in Laredo, Texas, Miki Rodriguez knows heat and understands what it means to live in a borderland. Now at home in San Antonio, her work channels cultural symbols of heat and borders, both literal and figurative. Drawing on “a variety of discarded materials, intense colors and designs” that reflect her experiences, she creates layered abstractions to document changes in the physical environment, in the energy of social movements, and in specific events or people. As an artist, she is a witness to social and environmental phenomena, and these artworks are her testimony.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Miki began her education in drawing and painting at the University of Houston where she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts. She went on to receive a fellowship and entered Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland and graduated in 2001 with an MFA. She is now a full-time professional exhibiting artist. She also has extensive teaching experience as a workshop presenter, lecturer, and art school instructor. She prefers to work in mixed media with an emphasis on fiber and fiber techniques.
