Matter as a meeting point between fiber and clay
Anna Carmona and JORCERAMICS share space in the Espai Barri Vell with an exhibition that puts textile creation and contemporary ceramics into dialogue.
Fiber and clay are the starting point of the new exhibition at the Espai Barri Vell in Girona, which this September opens its autumn program with a proposal starring the textile artist Anna Carmona and the ceramist Jordina Díaz Ferrando, responsible for the JORCERAMICS project.
Under the title Fiber and Clay , the exhibition proposes a dialogue between two disciplines that share a close relationship with gesture, experimentation and the transformation of materials. The exhibition will open on Thursday, September 10, at 6 p.m., and can be visited until November 1 at the Espai Barri Vell, at Plaça dels Lledoners, 1, in Girona. The proposal has the collaboration of BoiraProject.
The project is based on the desire to relate two ways of working with matter that, at first, may seem distant. Textiles and ceramics share, however, a physical and sensorial dimension that allows connections to be established between the works of the two artists. In both practices, the material preserves the marks of the creative process and becomes a witness to an action, a time and a landscape.
In Anna Carmona's pieces, fiber acquires a new dimension through the textures, overlays and expressive possibilities of textile work. JORCERAMICS' creations, for their part, start from clay to explore the shapes and surfaces of ceramics. The result is a visual conversation in which the materials establish correspondences beyond their own characteristics.
The exhibition also focuses on the capacity of matter to preserve memory. The fibers, earth, bark and different surfaces present in the works refer to a territory that is constantly transformed and to the traces that this process leaves on the materials. In this way, the landscape does not appear only as a subject, but as an experience that manifests itself through forms and textures.
This approach turns Fiber and Clay into an exhibition of a particularly sensory nature, which invites the visitor to stop in front of the works and observe their irregularities, the traces and the processes behind them. The dialogue between the two artists thus constructs a kind of intimate geography, articulated from natural materials and the relationship between hand, matter and time.
