Eduardo Sarabia received his BFA in Los Angeles from Otis College of Art and Design, and eventually moved to Mexico where his ancestors are from, having lived briefly in Berlin. His works are largely inspired by the local folk history of northern Mexico. He frequently works with materials favoured by craftsmen there such as ceramics tiles, pots, glass and hand-woven textiles. Through his work Sarabia aims to investigate the consequences of global economic forces on local traditions and culture.
