Expressions
Glenda Leon is part of a new generation of international conceptual artists. With similar interests and aspirations of western women, her work is striking in its innovative exploration of post feminist concepts. In this work she gives new life to discarded objects. Notice that the "flowers" in the work are little bow ties and decorations lifted from old women's lingerie. Titled Every Flower Is A Shape Of Time, the idea is to redefine time by expropriating found materials and giving them new life and meaning. Yet in spite of these global concepts, the actual idea of re/using discarded materials is a very Cuban reality. A good example of this are the infamous 50's style American cars still widely used, and maintained by making old parts new.
