Overwhelming textile facilities in Selest adopt the warm intimate relationship of the house – enormous
When Maria Fernanda Camarina and Gabriel Rosas Oman are not in the Mexico City Studio, you may find them withdrawing herbs or cutting vegetables. They say: “We love cooking and gardening – the practices that are rooted in care, and those that we love to weave in our work one day.” “There is a quiet mind in everyone who is fully compatible with what we aim to express.”
This desire to take care of the roots of many artists, which they present together under the name Celeste. Thinking about themselves as hosts, Celeste transforms exhibitions and museums with widespread textile facilities. In warm shades of pink, orange and red, transparent cotton often allows light to filter through colorful shades around the space. Every action becomes a kind of Mise-hecène Since viewers are called to break with friends, enjoy a meal, or perform among textiles.
The dirt color palette-inspired by natural dyeing materials such as the avocado hole and turmeric root-after the beginning of Covid-19, when the artists wanted to create “an atmosphere that feels as if it is embracing, and the warmth that affects the need after isolation in 2020,” they say. “The concept of condolences remained with us, and today, the painting is symbolizing safe spaces, with the uterus as a frequent element: protected and intimate interior.”
The projects “Contra El Miedo Y La Oscuridad, La Fiesta Colorida Y Feliz”, or “Against fear and darkness, the colored and happy party”, in cooperation with the fourth grade separation of the Granada neighborhood in Mexico City. After adding their own drawings to the cotton panels, students used bright installation as a background for the school festival.
“Watermelon covered with willow leaves” is more immersive, as viewers were invited to wander under a tent of covered fabric. In their last exhibition in Rebecca Kamacho offers In San Francisco, the artists installed the trio of suspended works that split the exhibition, with curved openings that allow visitors to pass. Refer to Diego Rivera “Agua, El Organ de la Vida“A mural, the trio explores the links between water and the impact of the colonial history of the city of Mexico on its natural scene.
Later this month in Bentaway In Toronto, the husband will also provide a “network dumping, and a talisman”, a lining an umbrella with 100 individual paintings created as an industrial owner and a necessary repetition of summer rays. It is their largest project so far.
With every work, Celste reflect on “inviting the spectator not only in the sense of meditation but in participating with the celebration … in this preparation, the sensory and emotional worlds are identified as legitimate sources of knowledge and the experience of hospitality and recognition without restrictions.”
