Orfresadas pieces, woven in gold in a non-traditional manner. The gold thread consists of a silk core covered with an ultra-thin layer of gold-plated metal that spirals around it. Crocheting with this material requires a delicate crafting process, given its brittle and fragile nature, where a dialogue with the materials and 'technical expertise' are crucial in the weaving process.
The structure of the pieces is created through 3D printing with low-impact materials, without losing the artist's touch. The three-dimensional structures are formed by hand-wrapping all structures and creating them through the union of circles wrapped by hand with gold thread.
