What the work is
A series of large-scale hand-tufted textile abstractions depicting Argentine landscapes altered by climate change or human activity.
How it was made
She uses hand-tufting — a laborious textile weaving method — and recycled scrap yarn from her family’s factory. She travels to locations in Argentina to research landscapes firsthand.
What works
The use of recycled yarn grounds the work in material continuity with local industry. Hand-tufting imposes slowness and scale as ethical conditions — each metre requires hours of physical labour, mirroring the time required for landscape recovery.
What does not
The work does not propose technical solutions, policy frameworks, or scalable interventions. It makes no claim to functional utility, durability testing, or industrial reproducibility.
What it influenced
The work influenced discourse around textile art as ecological documentation — shifting attention from decorative surface to embodied geography — though no specific projects, policies or collaborations are verified in the sources.
Is it worth your time
Yes, if you need to see how craft-based textile practice can operate as direct environmental testimony — not illustration, but material witness.
