AUGUSTO ESQUIVEL
BIOGRAPHY & WORKS

"My work invites you to a non linear journey of pixelation, obsessive compulsive disorder and color. The goal is to know and understand my identity as perceived from within. I draw inspiration from the silent, patient and under appreciated common objects of our daily life.
​
These objects represent my sense of self and my search for a place of belonging. My grandmother’s sewing box conjures the most magical buttons filled with unconditional love. I repeatedly thread thousands of these buttons using clear monofilament, to “web” three dimensional objects into life."
