“As Within, So Without”
“As Within, So Without”
Through this collection of textile works I have been exploring my artistic persona, aligning reality with abstraction, and using clothing to understand the self. The deep winters of the North have been my greatest inspiration for this collection - with textiles and forms oscillating between workwear, military cuts, with retro styles. My drawing, painting and sewing practice all come out of the same soul at the same time. Making this work has been a practice of patience - waiting for one work to lead the the next manifestation.
Every design in this collection was created as a celebration of growth, accepting the multiplicity of one’s personality, while owning every change of mood as they merge to become the whole. This freedom to experiment is very much driven by my locale, here in the US, with distance between the uniformity of expectation of Cuba. Thriving between these opposing energies, the heat of my Cuban home and the deep cold of Minnesota. This duality is the balancing factor for my layered, overcomplicated personality and artistic ego.
