Negative Weaving

Cotton thread, nails, photo negatifs , acrylic on wood, 2021

This work is the result of a research on the concept of memory weaving, in which different materials and mediums are inserted and co-opted, supposed to keep within them the spaces and figures of outdated temporalities. The negatives used have not been developed, so they have not fulfilled their destiny of becoming a production matrix . These negatives are those of my family, of my childhood, of a trip to Greece that I could not remember anymore, there reside the ruins of Athens, Parthenon and Acropolis, blackened and negative forms of my parents, photograms as a unit of value, as a unit of memory. Some also are strangely empty, void of any mak…

I do not appear in any of these negatives, almost as if I escaped to put myself in the place I occupy at the moment, the one who observes from the outside of this material, which is now almost extinct. I appear in the translucent mire of a stopped time only by the present action of weft connecting and cutting and maintaining the ruins, the deaths and the memories.
