Now the art director of a preschool in Doral, López is far from a housekeeper these days, but from the lint bags of others — friends send them from as far away as Canada, and her neighbors share, too — López created The Johnsons and the Ramirezes, a sculpture endearingly dubbed “la casita.”
”The house is a metaphor for the space you have to share with others, the cultural space, the urban space. . . . It stands for the diversity in Miami, where in one block you have Americans, Latin Americans and Europeans living alongside one another,” says López, one of 26 artists featured in the provocative show Miami: City-Metaphor at Centro Cultural Español (Spanish Cultural Center) in Coral Gables.”*
