In the show, the artist faces an unprecedented challenge in her career: to conceive a work on a much larger scale than usual, without renouncing the handmade and chromatic quality of her objects.

Artist Sonia Gomes talks about her creative process.
The production of Symphony of Colors
Sonia Gomes' production includes 34 strings suspended at different heights, which make up a symphony of shapes and visuals.
It is a reflection and a product of the way their own body reacts to fabrics, in that it creates objects whose materiality is linked to the history of other people and whose scale corresponds to the reach of their limbs.
The artist's pieces are made from materials such as fabrics, threads, yarns and objects.

Along with the layers of fabrics and trims, techniques - weaving, embroidery, lace, sewing - and memories merge: dresses, curtains, towels and various fabrics that people, known or not, send to her studio and are transformed into abstract bodies by the artist's hands.
