For my first art event, I went to see Leticia's show Edge Friction at K Space Contemporary on March 2nd, 2018 during the Art Walk downtown. All of her sculptures were made of CDs, some were the full CD and some were broken in certain places either to fit the frames or because that's what she used to make certain shapes. For example, she had a few pieces that were rectangular and the CDs on the edge were cut to create that straight edge. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of these pieces although I really wish I had because they were great. Leticia's sculptures are very reminiscent of science fiction because of the colours and reflections the CDs create as well as the shapes she creates using them. Many of her pieces are tunnel-like and when looking inside, it seems like the viewer is looking into a portal or another dimension. The addition of the theremin adds to the sci-fi atmosphere of the gallery. There was music playing, so I couldn't always hear it but when I walked around the room I noticed I could hear it in certain places over the music and the tone would change even when a person walked by it. This show proved Leticia's diversity because she was able to make so many unique sculptures using one medium. I brought three friends to the opening with me and all of them loved it. One of them even said she felt like she was in a gallery in New York.
