Uribe creates art that surprises and engages. He crafts exquisitely made objects that are assemblages of items such as bullet shells, pieces of colored pencils, shoelaces, pins, electrical wires, ties, and plastic waste, among others. His sculptures are not sculpted in the traditional sense but constructed and woven in curious, unpredictable, repetitive, and almost compulsive ways. The result is whimsical yet highly effective and communicative. By connecting objects in fresh ways, Uribe reflects on Nature’s pivotal presence and, in the process, gives back to Nature what was taken from her: as trees are turned into books, Uribe turns books into trees; leather shoes into animals. The use of bullets and cartridges to bring a fox or a rabbit back to life poignantly illustrates the brutal annihilation of wildlife around the planet. Uribe’s use of bullet shells juxtaposes playful or noble subjects with a symbolically dangerous medium, depicting animals or plants that are vibrant and innocent, reflecting the artist’s view of nature.
