Typography

I wanted to encoporte Spanish text within my work to emphasises the Chilean culture. Using text taken from the Londres 38 (a building where people were taken to be tortured under the military government) I experimented with different ways I could include it within textile samples.

Woven pieces of paper with text.

Sellotape transferred text stitched onto canvas with human hair. Glue highlights key words.

Paper text covered with bees wax rolled up and added to a woven piece.
