Annotation
Produced during her Masters in Fine Arts degree at California State University, Long Beach (1978), Linda Vallejo’s “Energy Series: Illuminated Sculpture” explores the very nature of energy and light. In this sculpture, Vallejo uses monotype prints, handmade paper, wool, and electrical wire to convey an abstract representation of the vibrancy of womanhood, specifically through the ability to give and create light and life. This series utilizes abstract form and eludes overtly to representational images to explore personal, almost autobiographical, experiences and sentiments. It challenges a narrow definition which only acknowledges bold, iconographic, highly representational, and often masculine imagery in Chicana and Chicano art. The work reflects her original sophistication and artistic vision. (Author: Laurin Ecklund)
