Textil diseñado por Mitocondria y música producida por Braulio Lam. La imagen bordada con chaquiras representa la reunión de dos almas, un eclipse jaguar.

“ECLIPSE JAGUAR”

MITOCONDRIA + BRAULIO LAM COLABORACIÓN︎colaboración 2021

This piece is a collaboration between designer Isa Guadalupe Medina, artist Mischka Ippolita and musician Braulio Lam.

The background fabric is made of linen, and the image is a representation of the microscopic structure of Linum usitatissimum (the linen plant) in which the Artist tries to evidentiate the complexity of the material by showing another level of perception of this material. Linen is considered a very noble material, environmentally friendly and sustainable. By making linen clothes, the Industry doesn’t poison de land. This piece of textile is early stage of making clothes an art, making wearable art, and most importantly, making new clothing with a sustainable method and material

The textile reveals a hand beaded image of two blue jaguars in front of an orange beaded sun, a “Jaguar Eclipse". The jaguars represent the reuinon of two souls and pain, a pain of impermanence, of an ephemeral life; the souls of the ones we have lost, relationships that have fallen apart, injustices that keep continue to happen, animals in the brink of extinction, and all the other losses of life.

The respect for this powerful creature was lost when they began to be hunted for their skin. Society has lost the connection with nature, it has been devalued. The jaguar corridor throughout the American continent is being obstructed with hunting and walls that are being constructed.

The beaded work also reference the microscopic structure used by artist Mischka Ippolita, Musician Braulio Lam was introduced to create music that would resonate with the process and significance of the piece.

ABOUT


ISA GUADALUPE


DISEÑO — ARTE

My work as an artist has always been focused on the flora and fauna of my surroundings. I am guided by the constant change and ephemerality of life in nature. I am intrigued by small textural details, working with beads and textiles has taught me patience and appreciation of intricate work. My goal is to be able to give back, learn more and contribute in helping the nature that inspires my work.


Declaración de artista

Me interesa mucho el detalle minucioso, lo que requiere tiempo. Cuando veo una obra de arte pienso en el tiempo que le habrá tomado al artista hacerlo. Mi pasión por el trabajo textil nació por ese interés, y ahora me enfoco en crear piezas bordadas con cuentas de vidrio y diseño de prendas. El bordado con cuentas de vidrio me fascina por su textura y paz mental que crea en mí, es una forma de meditación. Al bordar el tiempo se desvanece. Mezclando mis dos pasiones, el arte textil y la naturaleza, me han llevado a explorar temas sobre la fragilidad y lo efímero de la vida. Mis creaciones llevan texturas de lo que vivo, veo, y siento; utilizando figuras de flora y fauna que representan ciertos sentimientos o mensajes. Al crear una obra siempre pienso en darle “vida” a la pieza, ya sea en forma de imagen o video. Disfruto mucho colaborar con otros artistas para capturar el movimiento y sentimiento de las obras. La vida está en constante movimiento y mi ser y obras al igual.
