Textile
Widely regarded as one of the most visionary figures in the realm of fiber art, Olga de Amaral has worked through her practice to push the medium beyond its utilitarian origins and into the realm of contemporary sculpture and painting. Rooted in Colombia’s artisanal weaving traditions and deeply influenced by pre-Columbian architecture and symbolism, her practice interrogates the boundaries of craft object and artwork.
