Bordados y Desbordes Series Statement

The theme on which this work revolves began eleven years ago with a macho comment on the role of women in Ecuadorian art, a topic that
unfortunately
remains relevant in most Latin American countries.
I started the research reading about outstanding women in the arts and then about their struggle for equity since the 19th century and the first
feminist
movements of the 60s.
I wanted to express my interest on this topic through Victorian graphic representation, as it was a time when women began to fight for their
rights and
the psychedelic elements of the 60s linked to the first feminist movements, and their symbolic meaning.
Needle work and embroidery brings together artistic work around the reflection and awareness of my gender, but above all from the poetic
evocation to the
beauty of trades considered merely domestic……..
