ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
This exhibition presents a continued exploration of hand-beaded textile work, featuring both past and present pieces. Jaguar Azul marks the starting point of this connection and passion for bead embroidery. While Jaguar Azul symbolizes loss, memory, and acceptance with a piece that no longer exists in physical form, this new collection pays tribute to honoring those themes through immortalization.
The work depicts various species, memories, and emotions that are preserved through beads while exploring different techniques of beading such as depth, extrusions, texture, volume, color combinations, patterns, and movement. Utilizing glass beads is a way to show the delicacy and vulnerability that life itself inhabits. Each bead is hand-sewn individually, symbolizing how tiny fragments of time carefully form a lifetime of memories. This exhibition invites the viewer to experience texture and color in relation to nature and the human experience.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
My name is Isa Guadalupe Medina and I am a designer and artist based in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. My work focuses on the intricacy and detail that is reflected from nature and my roots. The different motifs I create are inspired by feelings that emerge from the rare beauty and constant change of nature. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parsons The New School for Design, New York. Since then I have been focusing on creating hand-beaded and woven pieces that explore movement and transcendence of time in relation to the human body/experience.
