What If I rest // ¿Qué si descanso? 

Thread, crochet, wool, fabric, embroidery and metal.

This is a curtain like artwork, that allows us to see through it, yet it is engaging and deceiving.

Mental health and the invisible labor / mental load of motherhood are the main inspirations behind this artwork.

A letter to remind us of the importance of mental health awareness, the fragility and tenacity of the human spirit, all in one.

Second Interactive Artwork for Self-Motherhood Project. Weave fabric with fingers to leave behind repressed emotions.

Sensorial experiences have released much of my own anxiety, and in this artwork, I am sharing with participants an act that would have been a regular experience in many cultures throughout our evolution, but which in modern societies has been replaced by engagement with devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers.

Write in ME

Oil painting on canvas

80 × 120 cm

Leave a LOVE NOTE TO SELF

This is an interactive artwork, where you, the participants, are invited to write a little note that shows love and care for yourselves. This is a way to promote cultivating a positive self-image and self-satisfaction.

Quipu M

Yarn, metal, mixed techniques

SILENT PERFORMANCE

Creating a Quipu, an ancient Inca Knot record, reflective of my motherhood experience.

I chose this method of creating an artwork, as a way to reconnect with my own heritage and to do a mindful exercise while presenting the Self-Motherhood Project.
