Travesía

From a tablecloth embroidered by her mother (1954) comes this series:
 "From here from there and from my grandmother too". 
The dragons of her tablecloth take on a life of their own, telling other stories beyond the stitches of the thread. 
Memories, fantasies, dreams of four generations.
Diverse voices that represent a singular and different way of being a woman. 
Women who continue to live in her, in that memory that is not in vain, but is transformed into concrete action because it is with their actions that people give meaning to their lives and others. 
As time went by, other tablecloths came into her hands, bringing her closer to other stories of sayings and feelings.
Narratives of union and of misunderstandings - traces of what was said and secrets of what was said. 
Traces of what was said and family secrets. 
Presences and absences. 
Gestations and births. 
Departures and journeys. 
                                       Tablecloths with stories
                                          Like life itself
The works exhibited were all made in the printmaking workshop of Est_Art. Alcobendas 2020 -2022.
