The memory of a momposino landscape

"The memory of a Momposino landscape" is an architectural surface for interior design measuring 2.40mx 1.20m consisting of 32 equal 30cm squares crocheted and mounted with the same technique on 3mm metal wire frames. Each crocheted square has three shades of blue in cotton thread dyed by me with reactive dyes and two shades of ocher yellow in coral thread. This surface arises from the commission to inquire about the possibilities of innovation in design for handicrafts, which led to the creation of the surface entirely by the hand of several Colombian artisans*. The artisans I work with guided me and helped me materialize this project; Among these, I highlight Lucia Aguirre with whom we carried out the material exploration that defined the path for what this surface was going to be and the artisan Marina Rojas, whom I reached through the designer Maria del Carmen, with whom we gave life to the final piece. .  This union between architecture and crafts is born from a memory of when I was on the small balcony of the old market square of Mompox, Bolivar around 7pm on April 18 during the Holy Week procession .  From this specific atmosphere in which I inhabited, a deeper understanding of the sensations, architecture, lighting and colors that I saw was made to arrive at the piece.
