Josefina Concha | Darned bodies

Nature is the main source of inspiration: its resemblance to the human body, the exuberance of color and form, the vulnerability of live matter, the visual and symbolic richness of the elements, these are the subjects which inspire this body of work. By accumulation and saturation, the thread acquires volume, giving birth to tridimensional forms and infinite shades of color.

The sowing hands don’t try to control the shapes that they create, they become guardians of their quiet growth through the darning, allowing chance to intervene in the process.
