Alex Coronado
The studio of Alex Coronado houses many sculptures. They range from recycled styrofoam, cleverly crafted together, to massive stone sculptures. He has lots of maquettes (small scale models) lined up to look at … a way of exploring a concept before executing a large scale model. One of them, which is 8 feet tall, deals with Green issues and use of recycled materials. I will certainly bring him all styrofoam objects which come my way … what he does with them has changed my mind about that material. Apparently, if heat is applied (using a heat gun), the tiny balls which styrofoam is made up of expand … change shape … Lots of possibilities!
