ENTRE CAPAS

Entre Capas (Between Layers) began with my interest in the body and its surface, using textiles as a kind of second skin. The project has gradually opened towards the natural world, as I have become more interested in the way bodies, rocks and landscapes are shaped by touch, movement and time.

I collect textiles that have already lived a life. Some come from my family, others from markets or people I meet. I am drawn to their folds, repairs and worn surfaces, and I imagine who they belonged to, what they have seen and what weight they carried. I like that they already have a life of their own before they reach my studio.

I immerse the fabrics in liquid clay and shape them by hand, responding to the material and to what my body feels while working. During firing, the textile disappears, but it doesn't completely disappear. Its imprint remains in the ceramic surface. What once moved freely becomes fixed in clay.

The forms I make sit somewhere between the body and natural elements. I am fascinated by rocks, erosion and the way wind, water and time slowly change a surface. I look for that same feeling in my sculptures: fixed shapes that still feel alive, as if they could continue to move or mutate.

I am interested in giving these materials another life, allowing something fragile and temporary to become part of a new form.
