Hand-embroidered and woven textile piece with polyester thread, featuring a central motif crafted through a beeswax or Campeche wax resist technique. The design is transferred onto the fabric via a transparent plastic sheet, emulating an engraving process, then meticulously outlined, shaded, and filled with threadwork. The central composition is further accentuated with delicate glass bead embellishments.

Inspired by the ceramic traditions of Paquimé and Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua (MX), the piece echoes their distinctive chromatic palette, geometric symmetry, and interplay of negative space. Zoomorphic motifs and rhythmic patterning pay homage to these ancestral visual languages, reinterpreted through contemporary textile art. The colors reflect the earthy tones of pre-Hispanic ceramics, grounding the piece in its cultural legacy.

Materials:

Wood, polyester threads, czech beads, bee wax.
