Teresita Fernández: Elemental

Discover the dazzling world of Teresita Fernández in Teresita Fernández: Elemental — a vibrant, immersive journey through more than twenty years of groundbreaking art. This stunning monograph brings to life Fernández’s experiential, luminous sculptures and installations, revealing how one of today’s most compelling contemporary artists redefines the intersection of culture and landscape. Page after page showcases her visually arresting, monumental works — charcoal, ceramics, chrome, steel, onyx, wood, resin, and enamel shaped into environments that engulf the senses and crackle with energy.

Dive into a creative practice that draws bold connections between landscape, history, place, and materiality. Through insightful essays and interviews, you’ll get an inside look at Fernández’s sculptural and conceptual approaches, her deep engagement with geology and land, and her sharp reflections on ecology, social order, perception, and the politics of place. Created alongside the co-organized retrospective Teresita Fernández: Elemental at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) and the Phoenix Art Museum — the first mid-career survey of the 2005 MacArthur Foundation Fellow — this book celebrates the evolution of an artist whose work reshapes how we see the world around us.

Featuring iconic works such as:

• Fire — her haunting, ongoing exploration of landscape as both concept and memory
• Autumn (...Nothing Personal) — a participatory installation created at Harvard University
• As Above, So Below — interconnected immersive environments inspired by alchemy and the cosmos

Bold, hypnotic, and rich with ideas, Teresita Fernández: Elemental is more than a catalogue — it’s a sensory adventure and an essential addition for art lovers, collectors, and anyone drawn to the power of transformative installation art. Step inside the elemental world of Teresita Fernández — and experience art that burns, glows, and breathes.
