The title of San Diego-Tijuana artist Griselda Rosas' first solo museum show,"Yo te cuido," translates to"I take care of you." It's a nod to her entire artistic practice, structured primarily around the restrictions and inspirations of raising a son.
For Rosas, her exhibit marks a significant moment in an artist's career, and reflects a rich body of work that's both diverse and astonishingly coherent — in content and materials.The exhibit is on view in a large gallery in the lower floor of the Museum of Contemporary Art — San Diego's La Jolla campus, and also marks the first use of this gallery space for a special exhibition."Yo te cuido" was originally curated by Anthony Graham, who recently left MCASD.
Rosas' works range from massive earthy sculptures and wall installations to small embroidered textile paintings, where Rosas uses paint and drawings along with richly detailed embroidery. Rosas, a single mother, told me about the tangible influence that parenthood has on her work, and how those smaller works are wrapped up in those limits and her home life."I think working on my kitchen table is significant as well, because that's my resource.
"All the pieces that you see here are embroidered on my kitchen table. That's where I work," Rosas said.
