Verónica Castillo is an internationally acclaimed artist from Izúcar de Matamoros, Puebla, México. Under the tutelage of her parents, renowned artists Don Alfonso Castillo Orta and Doña Soledad Martha Hernández Báez, she learned to work in the Mexican art form of polychromatic ceramics. Castillo builds on this tradition, focusing on contemporary issues of injustice and inequality. Join the Fowler and Castillo online to explore centuries of accumulated symbolism in her seminal 2003 artwork, The Tree of Death: Factory Women. The Fowler is privileged to be the caretaker of this visual elegy for more than 400 young women and girls who have been brutally murdered since 1993 on the Mexican border near El Paso, Texas.
