DORIS SALCEDO

ACTS OF MOURNING—a major retrospective exhibition of the sculptural work of Doris Salcedo—is on view in Ireland, and includes A flor de piel, her expansive floor piece constructed of rose petals and thread.

“Salcedo takes acts of political violence and victims’ experiences as the starting point to make works that are an examination of both mourning and materiality.”*
