Architectural textiles by Sarah Zapata explores material culture and cross -huge identities
In vibrant nomination of woven patterns and mysterious fiber ends, Sarah ZapataThe statues (formerly) appear as closed clothes with the wall, independent pieces, and forest -like combinations. Through the convergence of architectural structures, soft textiles, and the patterns of countless patterns and textures, it studies its work on its location the nature of identities with the layers formed by its Peruvian, strange, evaluated heritage in South Texas, and its current home in New York.
Zapata balances literal practices preserved for time with contemporary applications, highlighting the importance of the original Peruvian fabric, for example, as a means communication. The symbols of the traditional cloth and patterns of a cloth provide a way to exchange knowledge and cosmic beliefs.
In the naked statues that often merge with its surroundings, Zapata includes unexpected and vibrant colors with woven fabrics and complicated body. When resisting an easy classification, cutting it is neither functional nor purely decorated, although it plays with both sides.
Zapata adheres consciously of creating a very “beautiful” work, and calling for a noticeable and Muslim exploration of the relationships between crafts, lineage, society and memory.
