My artistic project

 

Hi again!

Today I am talking about my workshop project. My project in textile is about the familiar memory, I am using my grandmother's family album. 

It all started when my mother told me about the history of family, she told me that my last name was not correct!!! I was impressed when I knew but I needed know what was the real last name, that was Rodriguez. I investigated about my original family tree and I knew that I have more family and I don't meet nothing about them! 

I started gatherings photographs of distant aunts, I asked my mom if she knew them, sometimes I said yes other told me not... so I knew so many of my family are children of first cousins, I have a lot of cousins I do not know.
There my work begins, try to recognize themselves in unknown family through photographic images. The material used are piroxilina transfers and second-hand clothes, although this clothes is used to create a metaphor, which present an absent body, it is responsible for representing my family memory.

I hope you like my work.

Kinds regards,
Tania.
