Cesta lunar 41
1990
This textile artwork presents a vertical rectangular composition executed in gold tones, demonstrating a sophisticated interplay of woven and constructed surfaces. The upper two thirds feature a grid like pattern of rectangular elements arranged in horizontal rows, creating a rhythmic, architectural quality that suggests both structure and abstraction. The lower third transitions to a denser, more uniform woven texture of small squares, establishing visual contrast between the two compositional zones. The work exemplifies contemporary fiber art's potential to explore materiality, light, and dimensional form through traditional craft techniques reimagined in a modern context.
