Pliegues sobre lienzo
Partiendo de G. Deleuze como referente teórico en su análisis del barroco a partir del pliegue, esta exposición se plantea como reflexión sobre la propia representación pictórica, como un ejercicio de metapintura en el que el lienzo, tejido a mano , se vuelve protagonista pasando a ser al mismo tiempo fondo y figura....
Folds on canvas I use Deleuze as a theorist reference, particularly his analysis of the Baroque from which the pleats`s concept is taken, I reflect on the pictorial representation. This exhibition is actually an exercise of metapainting (in speaking about painting from the actual painting) on a hand-made linen canvas, which becomes prominent by being a background and figures, therefore making a visual paradox. At the same time, some of these pleats are accompanied by moments or historic fragments from paintings (using Velazquez, Leonardo, Bernini… as references) occasionally making the elements that are normally not so important into prominent and meaningful elements.

La casa hilvanada
Esta exposición-instalación se planteó como un ejercicio de intervención artística en una casa privada. Se desarrolló en una casa del siglo XVIII en proceso de restauración, circunstancia que se aprovechó en el diseño de algunas piezas y se consiguió crear unos ambientes y unas piezas que establecían una relación metafórica con estos espacios.
The tacked house La Casa Hilvanada is an exhibition-installation that is thought of as an exercise of how to live in an artistic way in an everyday space.
Part of an exhibition named Ejercicios de Domismo, amalgamates of six exhibitions that took part over the course of 2003 in different localities in Tenerife. In each of these locations, habitable or inhabitable place were chosen, depending on it’s localization, history or potential, art pieces and images were produced, works that had a more or less direct or metaphorical relationship with these places.
In La casa Hilvanada three artists in the field of plastic art took part: Cristina Gámez, Lena Peñate and Tahiche Díaz. They selected a house built in the eighteenth century in part of the old quarter in La Laguna. It is a four hundred square meter two storey house, it was under restoration which made it of even greater interest. As a result of this survey a series of art pieces were produced where questions relating to time, to mirrors and reflections, to shadows and ghosts, etc, are posed, presenting a marked metaphorical character.

Tramas y tramoyas
Uno de los elementos protagonistas de esta exposición es el propio lenguaje, los engaños y las paradojas del lenguaje. El tejido se ha utilizado como una herramienta expresiva por su relación con la escritura y su cualidad constructiva que permite relacionarlo con la escritura digital. También aparecen referencias al cuerpo y al tiempo.
The leading role in this exhibition is language in it’s most generalized state, includes misleads and paradoxes of the language. Whilst using the fabric as an expressive tool, being so because of it’s association with writing and it’s constructive quality that allows me to create a relation with digital writing and connect an ancient writing with modern writing, I go into depth in subjects such as the time and the body. The time interests me because of it’s contradictory character when it’s expressed in a plastic field and the body I use it as grammatical generator of language.

Funámbulos y Grutescos
"...hipnotizados encima de una arista
que perdió las superficies
que la habían formado
y quedó suelta en el aire.
que perdió las superficies
que la habían formado
y quedó suelta en el aire.
Acróbatas sobre un borde desnudo
equilibristas sobre el vacío
en un circo sin más carpa que el cielo
y cuyos espectadores han partido."
