| Detail |
She collects and dissects any object that suits
her inspiration, be it vegetal, manufactured or industrial. She likes to
explore new ways of using and combining those materials.
In some of her works, the
thread is a guideline and the fabric becomes a support. By accumulating various
materials, abstract figures are created that combine into a more complex
design, not unlike a bas-relief.
Always searching for new
colours, she uses pasting,
superimposition of fabrics and dyeing processes. This is probably one of the
many singular aspects of her artwork.
She, also makes great use of
photographs. She tries to capture the atmosphere and the emotions of a place,
to later transcribe them in her drawings or her textile artwork. This way, her
work can be seen as witnesses of nature, life and past times.
