In Mapuche, Piltriquitr\u00f3n means \u2018mountain hanging from the clouds\u2019. It describes a gigantic mass of grey stone and angular peaks rising above the tree line, 2260 metres above sea level. The young artist Sol Pipkin says that it is her \u201cfavourite sculpture in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piltriquitr\u00f3n Inside<\/em> was a project in which vegetation, geology, climates, visions, textures, accidents, paths and cartography were transformed into a symbolically rich interior sculptural space. It was a mode of doing, of making, of assessing and understanding the world. Essentially it was back to basics wisdom; a form of building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition was also a homage to Jorge Belanko, a renowned champion of the construction of homes using natural materials from the same area where the artist grew up (Lago Puelo, Chubut). Belanko, whom Pipkin cites as a fundamental influence, is convinced that we have a genetic memory of building our own shelter, for which it is essential to use the resources available in each environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat most excites me is its simplicity of manufacture, showing that we can all create and discover useful or imaginative things with what we have to hand. It\u2019s much more common in rural areas than in the cities,\u201d says the artist.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
