For nearly six decades, Magdalena Suarez Frimkess (b. Caracas, 1929) has maintained a daily practice of creating an autobiography without words. Rather than telling her story by weaving together anecdotes of the rather dramatic turns her life has taken as she moved from Venezuela to Chile and finally the United States, she has instead chosen to sculpt in clay, over and over again, a personal pantheon of cartoon deities, demi-gods and mortals who have acted as her very own Greek chorus. A painter and sculptor by training, Suarez Frimkess has invoked a cast of characters from the animated world of cartoons: Minnie and Mickey Mouse, Little Lulu, Popeye and Olive Oyl, Felix the Cat, Betty Boop and Condorito, the anthropomorphic Chilean comic strip bird known for his absurdist slap stick humor.
