Broken Flowers by Xus Francés Gandí

Xus artistic research developed during the last three years based on photographs that document her processual work exhibited in nature. Exploring her immediate rural surroundings, working in situ, capturing fragments, and composing the works in her studio. She is inspired by environment, memory and personal perception, such as elements found in the different cycles of nature, during the pruning of vines and any type of tree. Through series, she uses her experience as a record of the different types of interference or mimesis of her work with the environment. “From my roots and where I come from, from there my fieldwork begins. My works begin as personal perceptions. Nature will be here long after we are all gone.
