ABOUT THE ARTWORK
DETAILS AND DIMENSIONS
SHIPPING AND RETURNS
This project departs from the dryness of time and from what breaks when stillness is prolonged. Through textile and clay, these pieces explore the trace of quietude: skin hardened by waiting, matter that reveals in its fractures the signs of resistance.

Mónica Chelo is a textile artist and painter born in 1991 in Panama. In 2010, she moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina to pursue a degree in Textile and Fashion Design. She currently lives and works in Mexico City where here artistry developed into what it is today.
Her practice integrates textile manipulation, painting and sculpture, rooted in the body as a territory of memory. She works from intuition and gesture, transforming textile, clay and paint into extensions of the intimate and the ancestral.
She explores themes of identity, belonging and the experience of being an Afro-descendant woman from Panama, interweaving the individual with the collective and the everyday with the symbolic.
She is currently developing research on Afro-Mexican and Afro-Caribbean identity and its intersections, while integrating new human concepts into her body of work.
