I work with my environment and my own history, I build objects that evoke the concept of self-generation of protection, which comes from the desire to find a lair in the face of so much immensity -the pampas of Patagonia.I mostly use wefts woven and sewn with fibers and threads, using techniques usually reserved for the female sphere within the domestic space and invented from the imagination and memory of family experiences, evoking that "handmade" world, ancestral, and that disappears little by little, in an increasingly industrial and globalized world.
I take the fabrics beyond their original function to re-signify it and connect with my roots, my work speaks of a memory that recognizes the past. I elaborate plots to build objects deconstructing the fabric, rebelling against the idea of “gender role”. I build pieces/objects made in a non-traditional way to convey their emotional message. I call for the participation of the viewer, body, and piece to establish a certain relationship, to carry these objects you have to be an accomplice, connect with their poetics.
