Unraveling, or “unweaving” sections of fabric, Maria Fernanda Plata arrived at delicate and tenuous-looking forms, both ghostly and gentle. Her careful meditations in fabric reflect Plata’s ongoing interest in the relationship between people and their environments, in fragility, systems, and destruction.
Colombian artist Maria Fernanda Plata found herself drawn to fabric as a material with conceptual implications while on a residency in Vietnam. Interested in the materiality as well as the multiple registers of meaning bound up in simple form—the way that the term “fabric” is used to described the structure and form of societies, relationships, cultures, etc.—Plata began to explore her material through a process of deconstruction.
