About the Item

"El abrazo" Carolina Yrarrázaval, jute, linen, 40" x 14" x 7", 2017. This woven Contemporary textile sculpture was done by Chilean fiber artist, Carolina Yrarrázaval (b. 1960). Yrarrázaval explains her inspiration and technique: "I have always been amazed by the Andean textile techniques where the warp is what we see and the weft is hidden, which is much more complex than European methods. I felt the need to use this technique "El abrazo". I simplified the technique to in order to show the beauty of the texture." "Throughout my entire artistic career I have devoted myself to investigating traditional textile techniques from diverse cultures, especially Pre-Columbian techniques, trying to adapt them to my creative needs. Abstraction has always been present as an aesthetic aim, informing my choice of materials, forms, textures and colors. The simple proportions are guided by an intuitive sense that avoids the use of mathematical formulas. There is neither message nor interpretation. This simplification and freedom from conceptual constraints combine to reveal a language that conjures up other impressions, such as emptiness and the need for austerity and sensuality, silence and aloneness." Recipient: Critics Prize: Best exhibition on visual arts; First prize: Salón Nacional Textil Bolsa de Comercio, B. Aires, Argentina.

Encaustic Wax and Woven, Abstract Wall Sculpture: 'Mothering'
By Eileen Braun
Located in New York, NY
During the COVID-19 lockdown, many faced swirling negative thoughts….. Atlanta sculptor, Eileen Braun, worked through the lockdown challenge and re-channeled that negative energy into her hands. As her hands cradled and examined the materials, her mind welcomed being in the moment and being grateful for what was. Those positive thoughts became her mantra while creating. Accepting change without judgement. On occasion, accepting the days that didn’t change, while the materials spoke anew. She explains that “the resulting forms display my interwoven emotions: quiet, complex, absorbed, relaxed, serious, playful, flirtatious, mothering, smothering and ultimately, joyful.” Her installation, OPEN SPACES: Espaces Ouverts, is a profusion of forms suspended in our two front facing plaza windows. As they float, sight lines...
