dc.description.extractPatricia Álvarez’s (Aguascalientes, 1956) art transforms elements of the everyday. This, in itself, carries meaning, as she uses materials from everyday clothing — used garments, various kinds of fabric, buttons, teabags, threads, labels, and stamps — to create a personal aesthetic that has little to do with folk art. Despite its extraordinary technique (admirable for its meticulousness and delicacy), her art goes beyond the realm of craft, proposing a plastic experience that is closer to painting and visual poetry. In her representations, she lays out a series of symbols, concepts, and metaphors through the elements she deploys in each piece. While textile production is evidently involved — and implies both the sensuality of texture as well as the paradoxical desire to touch, while at the same time having to protect the work from being handled — her pieces are also charged with allusions to environments, whether natural (the world of vegetation or the celestial, for instance), imagined, or philosophical (as when transferring memory to the object). We are faced with a discourse that transcends the material, pushing us to reflect upon the memory and intimacy of the objects that comprise her work (p. 45).
