Woven Bag, 22" x 14", Linen Yarn, 2017

I was interested in recreating cheap bags sold in tropical countries for vacationers, in a much more labor-intensive way.

Using Leno weaving to create an airy fabric when worn on the body. 

Weaving, Pearl Cotton Yarn, Cotton Chenille 3ft x 7ft, 2017

Based on textiles that I imagine my grandmother from Cuba would have worn. The shapes of the clothing she would wear would be unflattering yet, the patterns were very pretty. 

Weaving, Cotton Chenille, Cotton industrial yarn, and Pearl Cotton Yarn, 3ft by 6ft, 2017

I was interested in making a handmade beach towel, which is a strange concept. When making this piece of cloth, I adapted the methods of making terry cloth to make my own version of a towel.

Referencing imagery that I have used in other work, the woman figure. She symbolize’s my grandmothers and their importance even though I wasn't able to get to know them.

Woven bag, made from a mock leno structured weaving that was that incased in disperse dyed vinyl, 14in x 8in (body of the bag), 2018

This bag was a study of trying to allow open/leno weave structures to be hardened and incased. The bag takes on the quality of being a vinyl bag sold in the New Jersey/ New York area at a bodega yet, the process this bag made in was very intensive.
