“Two individuals slowly weave towards each other as they depend on the other to keep tension. The strings between them flow and alter as they do, receiving the slight movements that vibrate through the fibers. Weaving strips of written fabric that speak about vulnerability, adaptivity, and durability.”

About guest artistCarolina Cuevas is a Cuban-American artist currently based in the bay area. Her work carries a sense of vulnerability and displacement which is borne of the conflicting ideals of family, home, and spirituality between her mixed American and Cuban upbringing. Through her work, she conveys nationality while bridging the identities of these two seemingly disparate worlds.
Cuevas is currently pursuing a master’s at the California College of the Arts. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at The Locust Project Gallery in Miami, International Ceramics Studio in Kecskemét, Hungary, and the Kansas City Art Institute. As well as virtual shows such as The In Art Gallery. She is the recipient of several awards including Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Americana’s Cultura Fellowship, the McKeown Grant, Rita and Irwin Scholarship Award, and the Ox-Bow Workshop Recipient. Her work is also in the San Jose Museum of Quilt and Textile’s permanent collection.
