Sedimentos
In this series I aimed to invite more fluidity in my textiles. Qualities like intuition and flow, which appear naturally when painting, were missing when working with textiles. In search of this fluidity, and with the aim of bringing these two mediums closer, curvy and organic forms take shape. As my process adjusts, simplicity and importance of the raw material continues to be significant and lead the way.
Water is an emblem of fluidity, it is associated with purity and is the source of life. It represents time and change. I have been inspired by the symbolism of rivers and water to create this current series. Rivers naturally flow, change and are in constant motion. I wanted to convey a sense of rhythm and movement, and allow the flow to not just inspire the form but the process also. In that way new textures and techniques reveal themselves.
Conversaciones
An ongoing series exploring raw materials and form. “Conversaciones” means conversations, the ones that occur between me and the materials in a process to understand my own language. I provide the frame to showcase the significance of the materials and let them be the heart of the piece.
The titles given to each piece relate to that conversation. Which at the beginning of the process in my mind still being very timid but the tone increases slightly in each piece I make. They also relate to the noise the materials make as I work with them.
Unforseen
The recurrent pattern helps to create a sense of rhythm and movement when everything else during the process of making the piece seemed to be stuck around me. The subtle individualities in each square highlight the fact that every single one of them has witnessed a different frame of mind in my being at the time.
