Look up 🙄


Dear Reader,

At a time when we look back to reflect over the past twelve months and look ahead with new year’s resolutions, wishes and expectations, I invite you to look up at the stars.

One of the experiences that I most miss living in the city is to be able to marvel at a night sky full of stars and the sense of infinity that it brings. Looking up and catching a glimpse of the universe is something that was taken for granted for centuries and is now a rare sight for many humans.

For this reason, I am working on creating a series of artworks that pay a tribute to the night sky by recreating a map of the different constellations at different times and locations on earth with the help of an interactive sky chart. This process allows me to learn about the different constellations that are now invisible to me in the hope to get familiar with this ancestral knowledge and visual reference.

Maybe, one day, I will be in a remote area, look up and no longer see something amazing yet strange and foreign but will recognize the many constellations that inspired scientific curiosity and so many stories in the past.

This project is at it’s early stages. Feel free to let me know what you think and share your experience of the night sky.

Wishing you warm and bright new year and until next time!

carolina

Curated by Alix Voz, it includes works by “three artists who have distinct practices but highlight the feminine forces that are often...

Dear Reader, I am so excited to present the biggest immersive textile art installation I have made so far! It is the second version of Over Connections. Made with yarn and triple the scale than the previous one, it is meant to give a tangible and embodied experience of interconnectivity both as an extension of our physical abilities and as a constriction of our physical life. More than a visual piece of art, this installation is made for visitors to touch, feel and wear, their presence being...

Dear Reader, Something I have been working on for over six months and haven't shared at all - there is only so much one can do - is the building of a new version of Over Connections, a fully immersive multi-sensorial knitted sculptural installation. This is going to be the largest installation I have brought to life so far! I am so excited to bring this piece to life and have people interact with it. I want to acknowledge that this would not have been possible without Zia Foley who diligently...
