Fern - PinMuta Garden

Sculpture with a rusted finish, where the patina is not a final step, but a process in continual transformation. Conceived to inhabit the outdoors —in dialogue with time, the weather, and matter— the piece nevertheless maintains an adaptable vocation that allows it to also integrate into interior space as an autonomous presence.

The work is articulated as a threshold between the intimate and the visible, where emotion condenses into a sensitive geometry. Its forms, stretched between balance and displacement, propose a spatial grammar in which each angle reconfigures perception and shifts the idea of beauty toward the unstable. In its presence, space is not occupied; it is activated: it becomes a field of forces, a latent architecture where matter, energy, and proportion dialogue in an open experience.

Its structure has been designed for attachment to a base or plinth, enabling different installation forms depending on the exhibition context.

Fern is the pseudonym under which the sculptor Clavo and the sculptor Carmen Lop work together.

Their practice centers on forging iron and steel, using forging and welding techniques. Their work moves between figurative and abstract, occasionally incorporating influences from pop art.

With a strong attention to craft and artisanal work, they have developed a trajectory with presence in solo and group exhibitions, mainly within the national sphere.

They have received various recognitions, including the Premio de Escultura Urbana Ciudad de Ávila (2006) and the Memorial to the Victims of Male Violence in Zaragoza (2016).

Their work is situated in the tradition of contemporary Spanish sculpture, in dialogue with artists such as Martín Chirino, Jorge Oteiza, Eduardo Chillida, and Julio González.
