Not on view

López works primarily with prints and drawings to create large-scale installations that evoke urban environments. Informed by the ever-increasing pace of modern life, our dependence on twenty-four-hour communication, and the desire for new technologies, López’s installations, much like the cities we inhabit, can leave us feeling slightly disoriented. The distorted perspectives of her shifting buildings often evoke a sense of vertigo and—in a post-9/11 world—unease in the unstable nature of her architecture. This print is part of a suite that takes its subject from the classical elements, or four states of matter: earth, air, water, and fire.
