Macrame
There’s grace in knowing that when we work with our hands, even though movements are constantly repeated, the outcome will always be unique.
To move on from an idea to a moment of creation requires time and patience. To do, to un-do, to pivot and to start again. These are acts of courage in today’s culture of immediacy. To make art with our hands is a privilege, a refuge, and a space for reparation and reconcilement with the beauty that dwells in imperfection
Something else
(27x60 inches macrame art piece)
There is beauty and freedom in accepting that we are constantly becoming something else. To embrace asymmetry in life is to understand we are all art-pieces composed by many other little art-pieces, all unfinished, yet somehow final. Thriving by intertwining new material with scraps from previous works.
We are ever-changing ideas, constantly revealing ourselves through the acts of knotting and unknotting. Between moments of patience and frustration, struggling along with intention and inertia, we find joy when our insistence transforms into endless possibilities.
The Colca
(23x35.5 inches macrame art piece)
The Colca Canyon is a river canyon in Arequipa-Peru, known as one of the world's deepest. I started 2021 year doing a 2-day trek here and returned with 25 km (15.5 mi.) of inspiration (and sore legs!)
Scrap Series
Pieces made out of scraps from previous works.
The way we relate to other human beings, to nature, and things is always a choice. What was once yours, will always be. As long as you exist, so will they.
