Vanessa Gómez C.

Vanessa Gómez's body of work is built around reflection on the crafts, particularly on traditional Latin American weaving techniques, which represent an activity of resistance against the fast rhythms of contemporary life and production. Her work involves loom and sewing developments where repetition, rhythm and order contrast with the imprecision of mechanized processes, reflecting on the relationship between people and technology.

The fabric, protagonist in her work, not only has a poetic relationship with the utopian structure of society but is also directly related to the territory and therefore with the resources derived from nature. Her pieces are a tribute to the manual work carried out by weavers who extol the textile tradition and carry out their work in a conscious and responsible way with the environment.

But not only is the technique the protagonist in the artistic exploration of Vanessa Gómez; her choice of materials is essential to approach her concerns. Horsehair, feathers, cotton, nylon, thread, and beans, are all elements that have deeply complex relationships with the territories and their communities. These elements speak to us, through Vanessa's work, of how we relate to our environment.

"I have been interested in the textile process and in the meditative exercise of weaving. The ideas come from the technique itself, which is linked to a culture, to a territory. There is no intention to go indigenist, but to get closer to people through the craft, through my work. Part of what is beautiful about weaving is to understand how it is done, which is not easy".
