“Baggy, an abstraction that became real” by Edu Portillo

The purpose and the idea behind the creation of this work is interaction. The puppet itself because of its size is capable to interrupt the environment around it. This sculpture was placed in the art building at the University of Houston for a about a year. Baggy would go from floor to floor making its way around. People's reaction was interesting. For some, the sculpture was something playful, for others it was rather mysterious and for some they just could not understand what was the purpose of something so big to be around and even exist. It was impossible to be missed while walking in the building. Interaction was present. Baggy as many others puppets to come is only one more step in Portillo's process towards developing a body of work that can over pass the limitations of what we think "art" is and what it should be.
