Ser by Monica Curiel is a standing relief made from spackling paste, plaster, and Roman clay. The surface is built up through repeated applications, creating texture that holds both weight and softness. Curiel works with materials commonly associated with construction and manual labor, including those handled by immigrant workers like her parents, and repositions them within a sculptural context. Through this work, she honors the unseen craftsmanship embedded in everyday materials, transforming them into a narrative of heritage, visibility, and belonging.
