"For 'Índice' (Index), I looked to ancient visual planning devices, like spirals and mazes, often used for ceremony, farming and surface pattern; and meditated on their ability to be a diaristic exercise and recording device.⁠" -- Amanda Martínez⁠ ⁠ Straddling between ornament and implement, these straw- and wool-laced structures not only assert their object-like status, but also analogize for Martínez, her efforts to build a state or network of interconnectivity.⁠ ⁠ "Índice" is included in Amanda Martínez⁠'s "querencia" which is on view through this Saturday October 1, 2022. The gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday, 11am-6pm. Please stop by!⁠ ⁠ Image:⁠ Amanda Martínez⁠ "Índice", 2022⁠ Hand woven dyed natural reed, found wood, enamel⁠ 18 x 13 x 3 1/2 in⁠ (45.7 x 33 x 8.9 cm⁠)⁠ ⁠ Courtesy of the artist and HESSE FLATOW.
