Christina Quisumbing Ramilo

b. 1961, Philippines

Christina Quisumbing Ramilo reimagines objects and their contexts through her use of material and site specificity. Her artistic practice respects the life and history of objects. With minimal intervention on their surfaces, she arranges them and reconfigures their parts, presenting fresh perspectives to their forms and functions. Often using unconventional materials (construction discards, architectural fragments, casts, recycled paper), and other objects collected over years, she constructs her works in parts over time. Conferred with titles that employ wit and humor, they ultimately express her personal poetries.
