Tesadura roja / Red As, 2023. Natural and synthetic fibers, dried flowers, personal objects, acrylic paint, epoxy resin. 224.4 × 116.4 × 42 in.

This work was exhibited at the Yale School of Art in New Haven, Connecticut, and later traveled toMiami, Florida, for the solo exhibition Tesando Agujeros at Mindy Solomon Gallery. This textile is a tesadura, derived from the Spanish verb tesar, meaning to tighten. The work reflects on the private household as a site of feminine violence, examining how socially constructed notions of femininity and gender divisions are reproduced. By gathering objects of intimacy from inside and outside the home, the work considers the economy of feminine consumption and the tensions between public and private space.
