she is an artist who mostly makes installattions, i read about her in https://blog.sculpture.org/2015/04/01/luisa-caldwell/ , it sounds difficult to be making scultpures and having to move studio spaces several times, i remember moving house how much stuff there was to fit in the truck, when i moved with my family, and how much went in the van when i moved by myself... scultpures being 3d objects, it seems fairly large in her case, i cant imagine how much of pain to move them, and be paying for rent as well as studio space and the van to move it all...
i was interested in her work because i saw her flower 'paintings' made with lots of fruit stickers, they are quite visually interesting, and bold colours like fruit itself, is often quite bright
her installations are great too
i can see she has had some influence from spanish painters, with the compositions and the inclusion of the skulls in these still lifes. but with modern touches, for example a jim beam whisky bottle that cements it in the modern age
