Augustina y las Jacarandas

Triptych textile installation — three panels suspended from brass rods, handwoven in Tlaxcala, Mexico in a rare blend of wool and dog hair. The panels are left largely in their natural, undyed state, their quiet texture interrupted only by delicate hand-stitching and, on the rightmost panel, a luminous burst of cochineal-dyed flora rising from the base — a reference to the jacaranda in bloom. Taller Netzahualcoyotl, under the design direction of Ignacio Netzahualcoyotl, 2021 winner of the Grand Prize for Mexican Traditional Patrimony.

Exhibited in Flowers Keep No Secrets at Heritage by Hand, Indian Market 2026, Santa Fe.
