Maria's Mend

Painting, Human figure, Other, Canvas, 200x100cm, 2009
The wire imperfect
All work is made entirely of embroidery.

The theme that I'm going to scratch with a needle and thread, is left by a sign, a transformation and rebirth.
a journey that begins and ends with a personal experience sharing and reconstruction of the marks left on the bodies and the city.
Some of my dear friends have stripped in front of my camera showing the physical traces left by experiences or suffered.
I have revealed their feelings, their memories of that experience and I have them mended, sewn and embroidered ... closing with a little treasure chest of memories.
Resting indelible marks on our bodies, have touched our soul and we have made unique and processed, marked by life and reborn ...
as they emerge from the past as a warning and as a constant in this cloth weaving ...
