ABOUT THE ARIST: Erwin List Sanchez

My work explores the vibrant tradition of Mexican cartonería within the context of my
experience living outside of Mexico. I am fascinated by how culture travels and adapts,
transforming and enriching itself in new environments. My creations are primarily inspired by
the natural world and its creatures. These fantastical animals, born from the intersection of my
Mexican heritage and my present surroundings, become a reflection of my perceived
environment. They embody the interconnectedness of our imaginations, demonstrating how we
carry our cultural roots with us, allowing them to blossom and evolve in unexpected ways.
Through cartonería, I sculpt the hybrid creatures of my imagination, where the familiar forms of
Mexican folklore intertwine with the new realities of my present, creating a bestiary that is both
rooted and reinvented.Beginning Sunday, June 8 at noon, Erwin will be hosting a cartoneria alebrije workshop.
