texereMiriam’s work concept derives from the Latin word, TEXERE: A weave we use to construct history. Thus, with each turn over, the weaver constructs her own history and her own culture. Also, it is noted that words materialize in the writing being woven, over and over, to transform ideas into a system of communication.

The piece was made with paper and ink, and measures 145 X 115 cm divide into modules of 22 X 28 cm each, mounted on a wooden frame.

 

texere-detalle-1Each module is woven and has its own writing, which Miriam has named, “Calligraphic Gestures“. Her writing has no semantic sense, nor does it belong to any particular language.

 

texere-detalle-4Texere follows the idea of joining weaving with writing in order to make us delve into the Memory of our tongue.
