The driving force of this project is the drawing as an object of memory (trace) and the skin and the body as witnesses, the creation from the image in all its dimensions that throughout the process may adopt different corporealities: from the garment itself, from the body that wears it or from the existing limit between the two.

The combination and interaction of the graphic and textile image with bodies and spaces. The artist Irene Cuesta proposes the creation from different materialities of the image transported to different media: to the graphic medium (drawing, embroidery, collage, fabrics), to an organic, palpable and three-dimensional medium (clay, flowers, plants, biodegradable materials…), corporal (textile) the codification of the same (PETSCII) or the physical simulation and its mechanical translation (3D scanners, CLO 3D).

A process in which to appreciate not only how the image survives, but also how it mutates, transforms and merges. To go beyond the limits of matter and reach new two-dimensional materialities that adopt a third palpable dimension and others that are translated into image. New ways of making, new materials and new realities: Repetition of gestuality and time, dichotomy of the digital and the affective, the disconnection within the digital.

Sending kisses, sending flowers.

“Every image starts from the body, separates from it – and returns to it”. (…) “An intertwining of sensory present and symbolic memory” (Didi-Huberman, G. (2009), p.p. 366,367. The Surviving Image. Art History and the Time of Ghosts According to Aby Warburg (Abada Editores).
