About the Item

Norma Marquez Orozco explores concepts of impermanence, perception, form and balance through physical movement of the work itself in a lucid, game-like context, like puzzles. All the elements are made of paper, molded into three-dimensional forms. The repetitive geometric shapes are assembled inside boxes built out of translucent paper. The arrangement is random and unfixed to allow movement and unpredictable composition. The harmonies and tensions in the work arise from different exchanges between the colors, the patterns, and the geometric and organic shapes, as well as the sense that change is constantly occurring as the elements shift and move. When one looks at these compositions, you see them for the first time, every time, because what is creating and completing the artwork is always changing; such as light, weather and forms merge and interact. As a result of these dynamic relationships, the work extends beyond her personal hand, sustaining an appearance and composition entirely of its own. Norma Márquez Orozco was
 born
 in
 Chicago,
Illinois,
 and
 raised
 in
 Guadalajara,
 Jalisco,
 Mexico. Her work can be seen as an investigation into the way relationships emerge and evolve when elements like color, form, shape, lines, angle and pattern are blended, shifted and layered. She currently lives and works in New York City. Marquez Orozco
 has
 curated
 exhibitions throughout
 New
 York
 and
 has hosted
 lectures
 and
 artist
 talks
 for
 the
 public. In
 2001
 she founded
 Floor4Art, an
