Continuous Thread is a series of pieces that integrate textile elements with carved stone. The mineral, animal and vegetable fibres are conceived as a continuous ecosystem: the animal eats the vegetable and grows its coat, while the vegetable organism absorbs the minerals from the earth. Later, the animal hairs are cut, spun and dyed with vegetable dyes that are related to the mineral soil where they are found.

Five Vegetable Dyes is a piece that decomposes the image of a mineral into the colors that make it up. Each color corresponds to a dye extracted from a plant: Chilca – light blue, Andanga – brown, Qalwinchu – yellow. Raíz – pink, Barba de piedra – terracota. The practice of dyeing with plants has been maintained in many communities in Peru.

United Baskets explores the process of landscape transformation and the persistence of local craft traditions. Vegetable fibers, reeds and totora reeds, are transformed into objects through weaving, using techniques that were developed on the coast of Peru more than five thousand years ago. Fibre weaving  is considered the beginning of textile tradition in South America, before cotton or animal fibers.

Balls of Yarn relates the diversity of mineral soils to the resulting colours of dye plants. 

Different plants grow in each place and their colours correspond to the soils where they grow. The pieces bring us closer to understanding the earth as a diverse geological or mineral fabric, which is in the process of transformation.

From the exploration of the artisan processes of weaving in reed and totora, Moulds, Baskets and Fabrics, reveals the process of adaptation and transformation of traditional weaving techniques. Local artisans have transformed the tradition by integrating everyday elements such as buckets and boxes as moulds to make the new pieces.
