Recycled jute from Uruguay, India, Brasil, Velvet
In this work my aim is to discuss the dialectic between light and darkness; between the multitude of hues of velour and the essential earthly color of jute. The two contrasting materials communicate at a metaphoric level, velour’s kinetic palette of colors speak of the sun’s arrival in which it penetrates the chill of the humid dark night. It brings brilliance and warmth and activates the arid expanse of monotone jute. The simpleness of this woven raw fabric also exalts the human dignity found in the hands of its weavers whose strength, in their daily fight for survival, render sacred their toil. The complete process is one of transformation and the bringing of hope.
