In the early 1990s Cardoso made a series of sculptures, based on her Colombian heritage, that challenged the legacy of post-war Minimalist sculptors. Perhaps an allusion to Carl Andre’s geometric floor sculptures, American Marble is loaded with cultural markers and meanings. In Colonial Latin America, during the 18th and 19th centuries, cattle bones were used decoratively in between ceramic floor tiles. The designs they replicated traced a history of Moorish and Spanish patterning.
