Imagine if one of the Artists Guadalupe Maravilla has used “kitchen cutlery, illuminated chandeliers, and symbolic sculptures of flora and fauna” to transform a school bus parked at Boston Harbor Shipyard into installation art. Here’s more from COLOSSAL:
Born out of the artist’s traumatic experience immigrating as an unaccompanied minor and suffering from colon cancer as an adult, the ongoing body of work evinces the healing power of sound and vibration. Titled “Mariposa Relámpago,” or lightning butterfly, the new work has had several lives before making its way to Boston: the bus was first used for transporting students in the U.S., then sent to the artist’s native El Salvador, and finally ended up in his studio where it underwent its current transformation.
