For more than a decade, Delcy Morelos has been working primarily with earth, creating encompassing environments of geometrically abstract forms and dispersions. Drawing on the cosmologies of ancestral cultures, Andean and Amazonian as well as her own, Morelos’s work explores the sustaining power of mud in its many forms—as a source of life and sustenance. For Dia Chelsea, the artist has created two immersive, multisensory installations—Cielo terrenal (Earthly Heaven, 2023) and El abrazo (The Embrace, 2023), the latter giving the exhibition its title—where surface and volume converge and collapse through monochromatic expanse and material accumulation. Reorienting considerations of land and site toward embodied forms of material and ecological knowledge, Morelos aims to cultivate moments of connection with what she describes as the “intimate humidity of the earth.”
