Statement
I choose to weave by his constant ability to amaze me.
The encounter with soft matter calls me to a daily learning, to repetition and insistence to master it, the fibers have become a language of introspection, creation and transformation of the present and reality. Hands are the vital tool of this process, through them chaos is channeled, it is in contact with matter that new paths are opened to transit.
I believe in the fabric as a great innate capacity given to us for transformation.
