La Serpiente Emplumada by Alexandra Navas, 2024

Alexandra Navas (1978, Colombia)

Textile artist. She weaves on a high-warp loom and works with tufting, using jute, hemp, wool, cotton, and silk; every piece carries gold, her symbol of connection with the pre-Columbian cultures of her homeland. Through weaving she connects with her roots and entwines the worlds that live in her, Latin America and Europe.
