Homes on Paper

“But now I am not I, nor is my house now my house.

‘Romance Sonámbulo’ Federico García Lorca

This series of mixed-media drawings is inspired in my work about “Home and Nostalgia”.

In the elaboration of each one of them there is a careful choosing of materials and sometimes texts that come to my attention. Beeswax, raw wool, vintage hand printed paper and joss paper * as well as wild silk threads, vintage lace and hand printed cloth. 

The main character of this series is a house/home that is reinvented every time, as if changing the emotional landscapes of our most intimate place. 

* Common in various Asian religious practices Joss paper is burned in funerals, to ensure that the spirit of the deceased has lots of good things in the afterlife.
