This is my time / ESTE ES MI TIEMPO

SOLO SHOW | DÉBORA STAIFF


SEPTEMBER 1-24 2022

THIS IS MY TIME



Sashiko tradition is transmitted from a master and can only be received through practice.


Débora Staiff learned to embroider as a child from her aunt and mother, a loving gesture she explored with dedicated discipline. Her practice is part of her own personal path. Every cross-stitch piece became a meaningful activity with “little stabs” connecting, strengthening, and reinforcing her own experiences, struggles, values, culture, and life.


Staiff redefines a traditional art form that shows the lasting beauty of textile as a medium.


Her works incorporate traditional sashiko patterns with new applications that point out the versatility of this ancient technique. In her Topography and Urban Series, she embroiders invented maps, non-urban landscapes of the soul, and human footprints through inhabited worlds. While her Textures Series is an artistic microscopic of superimposed threads. Stitch on stitch, tone on tone, white on white, and some imperceptible shadows.


As Jen Hewett writes, “Craft and community go hand in hand.” Both are connected by yarn, threads, and overlapping experiences of moving through the world. 


Welcome to Débora Staiff's textile landscape!

ESTE ES MI TIEMPO

La tradición Sashiko se transmite de maestro a discípulo y solo se enseña a través de la práctica.

Débora Staiff aprendió a bordar de niña con su tía y su madre, un gesto amoroso que continuo explorando con dedicada disciplina. Su práctica es parte de su propio camino personal. Sus bordados se convirtieron en oficio y cada uno de ellos contectaba y fortalecía sus propias experiencias de vida.

Sus trabajos incorporan patrones tradicionales de sashiko (“pequeñas puñaladas”) con nuevas aplicaciones revelando la versatilidad de esta antigua técnica japonesa.


En su serie “Topografía y Urbano”, Débora Staiff borda mapas inventados, huellas humanas a través de mundos habitados y paisajes no urbanos del alma. Mientras que su serie “Texturas” es un microscópico artístico de hilos superpuestos, puntada sobre puntada, tono sobre tono, blanco sobre blanco y sombras imperceptibles.

Como escribe Jen Hewett, “Artesanía y comunidad van de la mano.
Ambas están conectados por hilados, hilos y experiencias superpuestas circulando por el mundo”.

¡Bienvenidos a los paisajes textiles de Débora Staiff!
