LUX MIRANDA

Lux Miranda’s practice unfolds at the intersection of sculpture, drawing, tapestry, and poetry, through a deliberately enigmatic and often abstract formal language. Her work questions systemic mechanisms of domination and hegemonic discourses through an intuitive, experimental, and deeply embodied approach.

Her work draws on a wide range of references, from Neolithic and medieval iconography to Gothic art, as well as queer counterculture and the philosophy of Mahāyāna Buddhism. These influences are distilled into hybrid forms in which materials with opposing symbolic and sensory qualities, particularly wool and metal, are brought into confrontation. This material tension acts as a trigger for pre-rational sensations, calling forth in the viewer a bodily, instinctive memory.

For Lux Miranda, the body is a central tool of production: Manual work and sustained effort are an integral part of the creative process. Each piece is conceived as a fragment of a broader whole, a continuum without beginning or end, made up of objects and spaces of projection inhabited by a diffuse and persistent strangeness.
