Humanity’s desire to tinker is one of its most charming traits. We build, we take apart, we rebuild into something new. This is what drew me to the geometric thread installations by Texas-based Mexican-American artist Adrian Esparza. Esparza views these pieces as evolving self-portraits, which contain both a symbol of tradition and cultural identity—the colorful woven sarape blanket—and its displacement and disorientation.
I find myself getting lost in the complex angles and overlapping color fields, and it is interesting to see the expanse of color and dimension that can be extrapolated from a small, tightly woven blanket. It’s so delightful when the deconstruction of an object produces something beautiful, because it reminds me that nothing is permanent or unchangeable, and inspires me to continue exploring the individual elements that make up our everyday experience.
