MARGARITA CABRERA creates “soft sculptures” that focus attention on the plight of low- wage workers and immigrants through reconstructions of ordinary objects common to these communities: domestic cleaning supplies, small household appliances, or imagined supply packs for a remote desert crossing. The sculptures are imbued with certain anthropomorphic qualities, sagging under the weight of their circumstance and self-consciously acknowledging the labor of their own construction.
