Brazilian artist Sonia Gomes (*1948) is known for her sewn and knotted fabric sculptures, made of recycled and deconstructed textiles. In her artistic practice, Gomes interweaves questions of cultural identity, privacy and intimacy, which are expressed in the biomorphic formal language of her sculptural works, influenced by narratives, traditions and materials of Afro-Brazilian cultures.
This artwork was shown at the exhibition “HARD/SOFT: Textiles and Ceramics in Contemporary Art” at MAK from December 13, 2023 to May 20, 2024.
