Working at the crossroads of sculpture, installation and new media, Néstor Armando Gil's creative practice poetically excavates his own personal history growing up the child of Cuban immigrants in the deep south. For RASTROS ("lo que se hace al andar"), Gil is creating what he calls "an exhibition of traces," works that examine memory, loss and ritual to "peel nostalgia's skin back, carve out its fleshy interiors and make room for critical remembering." January 30Gil earned his MFA from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He has lived in Florida, North Carolina, Maine, and most recently Pennsylvania, where he teaches studio art at Lafayette College in Easton. "Taller" Workshop refers to the rotating collective of maker-collaborators with whom Nestor ideates, processes, and produces work.
