Landscapes built from cloth

  • • Regina has been working textiles since she was a child
  • • Travel plays a fundamental role in her work
  • • She uses sustainable, recycled and natural materials

Although she was trained in Fine Arts, Regina Digiorgis Jimenez' first teacher was her mother, a designer and seamstress who taught her how to work with fabric, sewing techniques and gave her a taste for quality. After her studies and travelling around the world on scholarships, acquiring further skills, Regina spent time in Chile where she studied spinning and the Mapuche loom. She later lived for three years in a village in Asturias where she learned hemstitching and knitting with the grandmothers of the area. Her first big project was to weave seven panels with rope for the NOBU Hotel in Barcelona in 2020. Since then, she has been making textile art for interior design, haute couture for decoration and art pieces to be integrated into living spaces.

Microarchitecture I and Microscopic vision ring

The sculpture on the base is of a broken vessel recycled in a local artisan workshop, that is made of natural gauze fabric, 100% cotton. An organic figure is created through the modeling of metal rods lined with cotton padding and hardened fabric. The sculptural wall piece is a cotton canvas on an iron hoop in which organic forms are composed as high relief. Fabric and crochet lace were modelled and hardened. The whole is reminiscent of a viewfinder that amplifies a substance microscopically.

Flow

This is a relief on classic canvas with antique cotton fabric as a base, in which different layers of materials are used. There are natural pigments of tea and soils and double application of pieces of modelled and hardened gauze, as well as wool and linen rope in the most voluminous points of the relief.

Micro Architecture II

This sculpture is made on a recycled pot base found in a pile of broken ceramics in a local workshop in Orba. The piece of pot serves as a base to elevate the architecture in which a wide and cosy internal space is contemplated. The crowning fabric is a cotton applique modelled as a geographic formation.

Garden IV

This is a textile garden mock-up in carpet stitch and crochet knitting. The shapes recall the plants in a classic natural landscape. The idea of this piece is to serve as a project to be produced on a large scale. An interactive carpet with which to propose new dynamics of coexistence. A space for play, rest or contemplation.

Inner block

This is a canvas made in cut wood, with antique cotton fabric as a base on which is composed a series of elements such as a 100% wool industrial carpet cutout, cotton cutouts and wool embroidery.
