description: "María Elena González is a Cuban-American sculptor based in Brooklyn and the Bay Area. She is known for objects, installations and public art that interweave post-minimalist form, conceptual art and concern for materials and craft. Her early work explored themes of memory, family, identity, loss and dislocation through formal, architectural and mapping modes that address site, place and social circumstances; her later work makes connections between nature and art, engaging a broad range of media and sensory experience. In 2020, artist and scholar Ellen Levy wrote \"González's art re-invents nature as culture\" through an \"exquisite attunement\" that uncovers formal and thematic analogies between both realms and synesthetic connections between visual and aural senses."
