"Arteries", Mervy Pueblo's recent sculptures acts as arteries, akin to the systemic circulation of the cardiovascular system, that commutes her conscious selection of thoughts and experiences; analogous to the significant oxygen and blood, in search of purity or universality in art withdrawing from culture, tradition and politics.
Her work is a reflection of the relationship between sensation and creation. In her attempt to become free and purified by being non-accidental or casual, her hybrids are formed through her connection or sensitivity on to the medium unleashing its potential re-birthing.
