From an intimate language about 'time', a memory is deconstructed from its essence to its near loss. The serialization of the same embroidered state shows the difficulty of representing an identity on a single canvas. In my work, I try to decontextualize Haute Couture embroidery by exploring different artistic languages understood between material and process, within a more conceptual and experimental framework. Speaking about the fragility of memory through an abstract, multidisciplinary, and material language.
The needle breaks the silence, and the nature of the materials occupies space inconsistently, a process contrary to the rules of conventional embroidery.
"I was a painter, now I am an embroiderer. From fabric to paper, from paper to fabric. I explore the canvas, the limits of the support, and the technique. I want to paint, but I embroider. And I tell my story, embroidered, painted."
These pieces are embroidered and numbered SERIES with a storyline as a drawing.
In each Series is developed an expression or state which, all together, make up a story with a beginning and an end.
The serialization or multiplication of the same state, expression or embroidered portrait shows the difficulty of representing and identity on a single canvas.
I work with the Lunéville crochet hook, which allows me to abstract embroidery towards minimal gesture. A drawing, a painting, a narrative. There is no sketch or guide in my work; it is a blindly guided path solely by my hand.
For me, the process holds paramount importance. I do not engage directly with the final image; rather, I embroider on the reverse side of the work. This approach allows me to remain unaware of the outcome; instead, I rely solely on touch to incorporate materials underneath the canvas as I embroider. The anticipation of the eventual result compels me to surrender to repeated motions, drawing upon muscle memory and executing my craft blindly, without preconception of the final appearance of the piece. The utilization of thread, at times tangible,at others implied,adds to this intrigue.
The repetitive motion of a needle breaking the silence of a canvas; the established rhythm of minutes, of seconds, striving to capture memory or its absence.
A work marked by the repetition of the same gesture, contrasting with the current industrial rhythm.
