THE ABILITY TO EXPAND THE BODY

2019

​

It is the expulsion of my genetic inheritance from the disease, understood as a physical and emotional symptom.

Through the tissue I allow myself to extract my damaged organ to recognize it, explore it, expand it in space and heal it. 

It could be considered a textile self-portrait, but it goes beyond that and becomes an intimate, dynamic and organic experience that has the possibility of continuing under construction and repair. The techniques I use I rescue from my womanly family memory, and I am also inspired by the fabric of the Chancay culture located on the north coast of Peru, where my family is from.  

​

The exploration of my textile tradition allows me to create a rebellious fabric. Expelled from me, similar to a living organism floats in space for embrace and reconciliation.
