ARTIST STATEMENT

WORK: The most important for me is making a discourse: Work into my own tongue. When I was twenty years old I’m started to create my textiles with only scissors in their composition ….

Scissors Tapestries

The activity of producing serial pieces from the union of tied modules constitutes the summing up of the production of a tapestry or a knitting, expressly composed by means of its functional opposite, the canvas - that is to say, a plastic piece composed from the rhetorical contradiction of its reproductive module and its final denomination.

Tapestry is not the same as Scissors.

The tacit content of the final product is inherent, while maintaining a visual harmony, setting priority to mathematical, color, density and flexibility

consequences, and deducing textural processes as a prime element in observing the pieces framing.

Constructing a piece from its nemesis composes a gap between the function and the rhetoric of the elements involved in it.

This form of work helping me to create without words: The paradox of Craft as a form of live. The mise en abyme, the lack of a compound social system in my location such a periferic place.

ART EDUCATION: During my career I have been developed a methodology of video workshop with the Chroma Key Effect as a artistic creation tool.  the metodology is linking with the historicity of Paint and his transfer of the new media arts. Motivations of the participant of the worshop;  what that  they like, that want   to express  as a human.   I believe in the academic education but also I want to believe in a non tradicional education.
