I’m the work of art.
Consol is a facilitator of open processes, she opens interdependent collective dialogues to take to the extreme the question of the permeability of the context.
She conceives artistic practice as a porous dialogue with the experiences that happen to her on a daily basis, in a predefined contextual framework and through the networks of direct and immediate human relationships.
She proposes these open and collective processes as artistic practice.
It is said she resembles process art.

Софуа, Bulgaria
Alcóntar, Almería
La Habana, Cuba
Big Trees, California
