Exhibition at Galería Hartmann – Barcelona
from July 9th till September 14th 2009
"The room is lit by a huge lamp" bordado sobre tela/ embroidery on textile / 70cm x 70cm
Topografies is a series of a group of embroidery works on canvas.
Similar to earth surface in maps, Topografies takes a look at a diverse number of features relating to the socialized world.
Its areas of action begin with the analysis of media images, filled with violence, which slip in to our domestic and aesthetic homes “Radiant edges”, until another kind of violence, more careful and subtle, that has been taken to an artistic land, as in the series entitled “Jiu-Jitsu”.
Thread has been used as a system of representation of a manipulated society directed in “Things can only get better”, and finally embroidery works contrast with the common sublime in “Kisses”, studying the different levels of the same reality or fact.
This group of works, is a journey which takes the audience on the a human skin surface, in constant movement, where it is necessary to analyze, even though the only way to do it could be going along the edges, through figurative curves, which are deeply full of content.
