LAURA MANINO
Es posible leer mi obra como una conquista de territorios a partir de la unión de puntos que construyen imagen y la combinación de elementos abstractos generados a través de la técnica del bordado.
Doy tanto valor a los espacios intervenidos por el hilo como a aquellos vacíos, que se transforman en potenciadores y amalgamas de la imagen total. La colonización minuciosa de las puntadas, que entiendo como como un ejército de miniaturas, ocupan fragmentos y logran organizar los territorios deshabitados, como si se tratara de una región (aún) no conquistada.
Habitar lo pequeño, situando el eje en el trabajo introspectivo, pone de manifiesto el tiempo detenido y también el control. Esta idea va evolucionando en la construcción de cada pieza, en tanto se despliegan operaciones que las van volviendo complejas y las maximizan en el eslabón de sucesos que las constituyen.
Se abre entonces una reflexión sobre la idea de un tipo de dominio, que nace en la lectura de algo tan insignificante como la puntada de bordado y construye desde lo pequeño una trama de relaciones mucho más grandilocuente.

It is possible to read my work as a conquest of territories, from the union of the stitches that build the image and the combination of abstract elements generated by the technique of embroidery.
I give as much value to the spaces occupied by the thread as to the empty spaces that become amplifiers and amalgamations of the whole image. The meticulous colonization of the stitches, which I understand as an army of miniatures, occupies fragments and manages to organize the uninhabited territories, as if it were a region (not yet) conquered.
Inhabiting the small, placing the axis in the introspective work, reveals the stopped time and also the control. This idea evolves in the construction of each piece, through the use of operations that make them complex and maximize them in the context of the events that constitute them.
This opens a reflection on the idea of a kind of mastery that is born in the reading of something as insignificant as an embroidery stitch, building from the small a much more grandiose plot of relationships.
