Description: textil sculpture about body and soul
sculptures textiles
The body as an enigma, I explore it, step by step, like a space that I need to reconstruct, to unify.
Fabrics are materials that came naturally to me as an analogy to our own biological tissues: bones, fibers, crystals… I start with old bed sheets and shirts, embroidered handkerchieves and second-hand fabrics that I cut up, put the fragments together, pad them and then sew them by hand. In this way I reconstruct different body parts (arms, legs, heads) and several organs and bone structures.
