the spaces we inhabit: MINI WALLS

This series begins with the layered walls I encounter throughout Mexico. Their surfaces reveal traces of time through accumulated paint, fading color, cracks, repairs, and marks left by use and exposure.

Using fabric, dyes, and yarn, I recreate these surfaces through layering, staining, stitching, and overlapping materials. Rather than reproducing a specific wall, each work translates its textures, colors, and imperfections into a textile language.

I am interested in the wall as a surface that holds memory. What is covered never completely disappears. Previous layers remain visible through fragments and traces, creating an ongoing record of the people, places, and histories that have passed through them.
