For this series I was looking to translate the battle that occurs inside my mind, when emotions that come from a place of love struggle with emotions that emerge out of fear. From a flat surface (warp) the fibers push themselves out in what seems like an effort to be seen and heard. For this specific piece, I focused on the ocean shore and how it's never static and keeps renewing itself.

Statement — My work initiates from the process of change. I have always been interested in the emotions that surge in life when I deal with ‘ends’ and with ‘new beginnings’, and the struggle between these feelings - which can come from a place of love or a place of fear. I work with fibers using techniques that generate a cultural connection with my country and my roots. In my pieces I tend to show fibers pushing themselves through, in what seems to be an effort to be seen. Currently I am working on a series about nostalgia, specifically about the memories that I carry with me of something that no longer exists. The year 2020 brought for me a new meaning to living away from home - I realized that I can let go and I can grow, while still carrying with me a “perfect” memory. The objective of my work is to highlight the struggle of facing change, as well as understanding the value of it. — Bio — Cristina is a graphic designer and fiber artist.

After working for several years in local advertising agencies, together with her sister, they founded their own design firm "Stelier" in 2010. That same year, she moved to Dallas, TX. Four years later - while living on the East Coast - with her innate talent, creativity, and curiosity, she started learning weaving and knotting techniques. After discovering this new passion, she has been constantly creating unique pieces ranging from jewelry to wall art and installations, and also continues working on branding projects with her sister.
