COLOR THERAPY
‘Nodal Landscapes’ by Kristie Arias consist of 16 pieces that form a textile landscape. A knot is closure and origin, possibility, limit, growth and base. The knot is the starting point of the landscape-installation created by Kristie Arias as an equanimous edge of multiple symbols and desires.
The landscape is made up of a series of stratigrams or soft stratigraphies. Each piece shows in every texture what a gash in the earth is: strata or sedimented rocks; pieces of geological history that Arias ties to the textile narration of a pre-Columbian past and a present of subversion, to the life cycle and the possibility of regeneration, to the idea of a solid infinity. The real and metaphorical possibilities of the knot as an active object and consequence of an action, as an atom of a fabric on a large scale.
The use of colors is also a journey through the knot. The stripes refer to the chromatic patterns in the sedimentary rocks, and then move away from the earth to take on Paracas and Lambayeque tones. The AMANO Museum, with its pre-Columbian textile collection, has a serious influence and adds another tie: the relationship between the textile and the earth made evident in the Paracas funeral bundles. Layers of looms parallel to geological strata: two ways of burial. Tribute accentuated by the circular shape of the pieces. Funerary knot that, being a symbol of regeneration, is also a nest.
