Tejidos desde el útero [Knittings from the womb]

This work is an alive knitting of temporalities, bodies and memories that attempts to rethink the private and public, the personal and political, the internal and external. It proposes to visualize biological processes of women’s bodies to deconstruct and unveil the act of being a woman, with all its implications. I use menstrual blood as matter and identity, as an expelled material. It is the residue, the remainder; it is the human non-reproduction. Its use implies to perpetuate biologic memories, resignify it and change it to another state, to turn it into an object. It is to accept the agency and interaction with the environment. It is to reappropriate it. The bio-threads are an interspecies mix: human fluids in communion with algae. They are sympoietic witnesses. The knitted objects are fragile, though rigid organs. They are anonymous bodies and at the same time, their parts. They are clots, wombs, our endometrial tissues. They are us, turned into matter.
