YR 20:1 LD consists of delicately assembled carbon copy paper maps that embody the artist’s personal universe, containing annotations and writings from her daily life. With her grandmother’s notes or drawings alongside her own and those of her son, Sanchez creates an intergenerational connection, conjoining and mixing family archives into one. YR 20:1 LD is part of her ongoing series entitled Constelaciones Carbónicas and is a small fragment of a greater map inspired by the Celestial Atlas model, which maps the 88 constellations of the celestial sphere. Sánchez’s Constelaciónes Carbonicas also explore the concept of language – particularly in its relationship to archive and memory. YR 20:1 LD features a variety of written forms, from abstract lines to drawings, printed text and cursive handwriting. They also feature a mix of Spanish and English. This all serves to elaborate on Sánchez’s fascination with language and the capability of different languages to express different meanings. The content of the works is presented to us back-to-front, superimposed and is almost illegible; this forces the viewer to take a step back and to look beyond the specific details of the archival material.
