GRID WORK

Rosario Guerrero's foray into textile art commenced in the late 1990s and early 2000s, where she delved into the rich, time-honored traditions of Latin American basket weaving and textile craftsmanship. Her work pays homage to the historical role of women as menders and healers within society. Guerrero meticulously paints strips of linen with oil, which she then weaves into large-scale, vibrant tapestries. These works not only celebrate the cultural heritage of textile arts but also explore themes of repair and restoration, encapsulating the essence of communal and individual resilience.
