A solo exhibition featuring textile work by Angelica Raquel Martinez. Registration for appointments can be found here.
“Angelica Raquel Martinez’s textiles are figurative narratives that merge stories, folklore, and lived experiences. Her work relies on knowledge of the past while reinventing folklore to reflect on culture, societal, and human/ animal encounters. Employing biographical and regional folklore she grew up with, living on the border to Mexico, serves as a conduit for moral and spiritual ideas, while also putting emphasis on familial relationships and their continued importance long after death. Her work shows her interest in the magic that was the unknown, the idea of the soul, and the element of the human animal.”
