About the Item
This handcrafted wool tapestry arises as a collaboration between the artist and artisans from Teotitlán del Valle, a community in Oaxaca, southwest Mexico.
In Oaxaca, the textile tradition has pre-Hispanic reminiscences that merged and enriched with the arrival of the Spanish; they brought wool-producing sheep, mulberry trees, and silkworms, as well as the tools to transform these fibers into yarns and fabrics. Currently in Oaxaca, textile crafts from different regions of the state are identified by their highly original designs and colors, but in Teotitlán del Valle there are families that have been dedicated to this craft activity for years. Their technique and above all their love for textiles have been transmitted from generation to generation.
A Teotilán del Valle rug is the result of the work and dedication of skilled artisans, who with their magical hands manage to convey the love they have for that "land of the gods", as its name means in the Nahuatl language.
This piece is part of an exposition called "Jardín Particular" which stands for Particular Garden or Private Garden. Nature is a central theme in Alejandra's work, and with this landscape, we can notice her profound curiosity about the natural world that out to be transformative and ever-changing.
Alejandra´s work invites the spectator to dive into her own particular garden, which she cultivates in her heart. She evokes transformation, change, movement, and nature.

- We are elevenLocated in Ciudad de México, MXMiguel Milló builds complex compositions in which painting, sculpture, and the play of light and shadow combine to create subtle and poetic atmospheres. In his images, the human being is a metaphor for the fertile land from which life springs; an overflowing life, full of throbbing. It can be said that the nude bodies are blank canvases that the artist intervenes with mud and pigments, to later cover them with simple or complex compositions of plants, earth, roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits. This gives life to his final work, through the masterful handling of light sources and shadows that provide volume and movement to the creation captured through his magic eye...Category
