Bethany Cordero is an interdisciplinary artist whose work centers on the transformative potential of materiality. Working primarily with clay, fiber, and metal, her practice explores how these materials undergo shifts and adaptations, reflecting the fluid nature of identity and the passage of time. Themes of resilience, impermanence, and renewal are central to her sculptures, which often incorporate remnants of steel and bronze alongside textiles. By assembling these fragments, Cordero creates forms that hold memory and embody the tension between fragility and strength. Her process-driven approach, whether through welding or weaving, highlights the material's capacity for change, while drawing connections between personal experience and collective narratives.

Philosophically, Cordero's work is informed by an inquiry into ontology and the essence of being, as well as theoretical concepts of time and multiplicity. These ideas shape her exploration of how materials can serve as vessels for memory and transformation. Through her sculptures, she invites viewers to contemplate the ways in which we navigate change, loss, and growth, offering moments of reflection on the enduring yet transient nature of both materials and human existence.
