WORKS
NOS VEMOS EN EL COSMOS
Participative handwoven tapestries, mixed wool, variable sizes, since 2022
‘Nos vemos en el cosmos’ is a participatory weaving project carried out by the artist, friends, and guests together in the studio and during exhibitions.
Large woven bodies are formed by the plurality of gestures, in the repetition of actions, a dialogue between the artist and the audience. The repetition of gestures that constitute weaving, connects artisan knowledge with the collective body and collaboratively builds a storyline that gives protagonism to the making process.
The interweaving of threads in different shades of blue and white creates a celestial skyscape, like clouds appearing and disappearing on a blue sky day. A yellow thread and a name tag are used to mark the spot where a person weaved, storing their presence in the work.
Throughout time, a weaving is finished, and a new one is being born, different skyes, in different cities, different dynamics. With the uniqueness of each collaboration, the work celebrates the intertwining of stories and people, presenting itself as a witness of time, a link between memories and matter, between us and the cosmos.
