ENTWINED

Marian Goodman Gallery, London, UK

Entwined (2017) by Cristina Iglesias is a captivating wall-mounted installation shown at Marian Goodman Gallery in London. Crafted from cast aluminium with pigmented polycarbonate resin, the layered mural spans approximately 2.7 × 2.5 × 0.2 m . The intricately sculpted relief mimics entangled roots or lichen growth clinging to architectural surfaces, evoking tensions between built structures and organic proliferation.

Executed with precision aluminium casting and delicate resin integration, the piece creates a visual rhythm of density and lightness. Subtle pigment accents highlight internal complexities, revealing textures that shift with perspective and illumination. Root-inspired forms appear to surge from the gallery wall, calling attention to the hidden vitality beneath urban façades.

Cristina Iglesias (b. 1956, San Sebastián) has crafted a distinctive sculptural vocabulary built on immersive environments that fuse architecture, nature, and location-specific narratives. Entwined continues her exploration of thresholds, growth, and the blurring of inside–outside boundaries—inviting viewers to reconsider how natural processes intersect with constructed space.
