About this artwork
River is inspired in the amazon river, This river does not move in a straight line, but forms winding shapes from the Peruvian Andes to the north and then to the east. The curvature of these serpentine figures are known as meanders. I have represented these meanders with an embroidery that crosses the composition, likewise the organic figures in the background represent the different ecosystems and landscapes that the river crosses from the mountains…
to the sea.
This work has been created with recycled jute (Latin American coffee bags) and embroidery. Lately I am exploring materials that allow me to create a more sustainable and environmentally conscious art, in my process the recycled jute coffee bags are painted, cut and reconstructed in organic abstracts and arcing contour body silhouettes. I also use embroidery in my works as a tool for female empowerment and peaceful protest, I consider the embroidery as a space of freedom, introspection, self-knowledge and sisterhood.
