Patricia Domínguez, Cuatro hojas; Cuatro guardianes de mis esquinas, 2026, watercolour on paper
Patricia Domínguez's watercolours feaure in Several Eternities in a Day: Form in the Age of Living Materials at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. The exhibition highlights artists from North, Central, and South America who embrace the unpredictable nature of living materials and considers ideas around materials as records of the living and repositories of cosmic memory, organic decay and transformation.
Domínguez's watercolours draw deeply from her ethnobotanical research, treating plants as carriers of ancestral knowledge, medicine, and memory. Domínguez foregrounds the living intelligence of flora, allowing their forms and properties to guide composition and meaning. In this context, her works become intimate studies of human-plant relationships, proposing alternative ways of knowing rooted in reciprocity and care.
