Entrelazadas / Interlaced
Powder-coated aluminum, paint

Location: Connect Highstar and Fabric Forge, Houston’s first textile lab and entrepreneurial center, in a new space in Gulfton, Southwest Houston, Texas.
My work Entrelazadas / Interlaced, merges sculptural and paint mediums. The decorative motifs, sourced from working-class communities in Puerto Rico, bring a relatable element to the vast Latinx communities of migrants and immigrants living and working in Houston.
Commissioned by Piper Faust & Connect Community.
In collaboration with Connect Community and MetLab, I designed the building facade of Fabric Forge, Houston’s hub for textile manufacturing, education, and entrepreneurship. An initiative of Connect Community, Fabric Forge builds on the legacy of HTX Sewn Goods. This pandemic-born collective sewed and distributed over 75,000 masks at a time of urgent need.
