About The Artwork
The title of this work "Amoxtli" comes from the Nahuatl language, an aztec language spoken in central Mexico since 7th Century AD., meaning 'books'. Nahuatl was originally written with a pictographic script that served as a mnemonic to remind readers of texts they had learnt orally. Many of these scripts, that contained sacred messages and ideas were destroyed by the Spanish when they conquered Mexico in the 1500, they then introduced the Latin alphabet to write Nahuatl. This work was Inspired by the indegenous groups working to create alternatives to keep their linguistic identity alive.

Monica Figueredo is a multidisciplinary artist with a B.A in Fine Arts from OCAD University in Toronto, Canada. She has exhibited globally in a variety of media ranging from painting, sculpture, installation and documentary filmmaking. Her multi-ethnic upbringing and her practice as a journey woman, as the peripatetic who maps an alternate world by her journey through it, has exposed her to multitude of cultures, faiths and cosmological knowledge. All of which play a key intuitive role in her creative process through the language of abstraction. The reconciliation of found objects, recycled fabrics and painted canvases made at different times are brought together, offering unexpected encounters and territories of present and future personal mythologies.
