In her large-scale installations, Delcy Morelos uses scent and soil to explore our relationship to the earth. ‘Profundis’ is a site-specific project at CAAC Seville by the Colombian artist. Starting with locally sourced sediments, she mixed these with other natural materials, such as hay, jute, wood, latex, spices, seeds, and plants. By blending local sand, clay, and earth with specimens that were introduced to Europe from the Americas, Morelos alludes to the history of colonial botany. The significance of her works is elevated by locating them in Seville, which was central to the development of overseas trade routes and colonies between the 15th and 17th centuries.
