threads

The result is a hybrid; we use a totally artisanal technique combined with high-tech processes.
Buying the cotton thread is a challenge, since it is produced manually and could not be done with industrialized thread, we buy it from several artisans from different places in Mexico.
The threads are wound manually on metal frames thread by thread. The completed frames are printed on complex printing machines designed for other purposes; we take advantage of them to create art. Once printed, the actual creation begins: we cut the threads, we tangle them, we comb them, we create holes, we leave empty spaces, sometimes we unwind long pieces that go beyond the frame, sometimes we create braided knots and comb inside or outside the frame. 
The technique is complex, sublime, audacious to the eye, and that is barely the beginning of the interesting part: the content; which images are suitable and worthy of being captured in such a complex technique.
