Intervals of Thread and the Optics of Space

“Intervals of Thread and the Optics of Space” demonstrates Sofia Escobar’s exploration of textile art through cultural inspirations and technological innovations. By merging traditional techniques with modern approaches and technologies, she challenges the conventional understanding of textiles and pushes the boundaries of traditional artistic practices. Through the use of pattern design, colour, repetition, and interplay with space, Sofia Escobar creates a unique visual language that invites viewers to reconsider their perception of textiles and their relationship with space. This innovative approach to textile art contributes to the discourse on material culture, spatial design, and artistic expression.
