JORGE ALBERTO AYLLON

In the artist’s opinion, every human being seeks a space to take shelter. Where one could feel safe. Like birds that make their nests. They collect objects that they consider useful in order to create their own home. This same process has been recreated by Ayllon, seeking a place that would allow him to isolate himself for a certain period allowing him not only to better understand himself, but also to comprehend and develop his own visual language. The language that he speaks of is definitely influenced by the elements that surround him, objects that he has collected from the public space. For Ayllon, each one of these elements is bearer of meaning and history. What interests him most about them is the gap between the initial intention, what they were made to do, and the interpretation that is made subsequently out of them.

Once the structure of the shelter was built, utilizing a device that allows to record the sound of the marks and traces made by the drawing of the pencil to which it is connected; the artist utilizes the act of drawing as a process of scanning all the inner surroundings of the structure he has built in order to keep traces of memory through sound of what once became meaningful and part of a creation process.
