𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝑨𝑾𝑰𝑵𝑫𝑶𝑾 is a series of hand pulled silkscreen-print monotypes on fabric that aim to capture the awe of witnessing many stunning sunsets from my studio window. These works are shared as postcards, expressing the sentiment of “wish you were here”—a longing for others to experience these moments too.

A selection of these pieces will be on view at MPatmos @mpatmos for the next month, with a small reception tomorrow from 3-6 p.m. If you’re in the area, please stop by!

From A W I N D O W is an exhibition of screen print monotypes on fabric by artist Mariana Vidal-Escabi, offering an intimate glimpse into the profound connection between an artist and her studio space.

The series originates from Vidal-Escabi’s studio, A W I N D O W, a cherished space that boasts breathtaking views and spectacular daily sunsets. These natural spectacles, experienced from a place of personal happiness and belonging, serve as the primary subject and emotional catalyst for the work.

The resulting monotypes are impressions of these moments, capturing the feeling of watching the phenomenon and acting as a timestamp of a specific place and time. Presented in the form of a postcard, the works convey a sense of shared experience and longing, echoing the sentiment of “wish you were here”—a desire for others to witness the beauty she encounters daily from her window.

The studio’s name, A W I N D O W, is a deliberate choice, proposing a way of seeing: a perspective, a filter, and a frame. This concept is underscored by the historical understanding of the window as an architectural device—not merely for letting light in, but for focusing observation and concentrating the gaze by reducing the field to a detail. This act of framing, as the studio description notes, “both limited the perspective and created it in the first place,” a duality beautifully explored in this body of work. taken in M.PATMOS by @awindownyc

【Ｇｒｏｕｐ　Ｐｈｏｔｏｓ】 This series is part of a larger body of work titled “The Parties.” It features rubbings on vellum of the napkins used in “The Parties” series. This work captures the essence of those gatherings and embodies an element of chance composition, much like the snap-shots taken at a party. In this context, the napkins symbolize those who left their traces on them. In formal terms, it is an exercise in scale and color to recreate how people would gather for a group photo. by @awindownyc

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 and 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙜𝙚, 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙣, 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙚, along with works by @ellendynebrink and @nattybax are on view at 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 at Russell Janis Projects @russelljanisprojects through the weekend! As part of New York Textile Month @newyorktextilemonth

Haptic Memory brings together the works of artists Ellen Dynebrink, Mariana Vidal-Escabi, and Natalie Baxter. Each engaging in the traditions of textiles, re-configuring by methods of quilting, printing on, repurposing, shaping fabric into form - adding new layers of history, context and conversation.

This exhibition explores how materiality, memory, and identity intersect in their practices. From Dynebrink’s use of textile remnants and transformative processes, to Vidal-Escabi’s participatory works which explore cross-sensory translations, generational memories, and the language of adornment, and Baxter’s bold, soft sculptures that reimagine domestic symbols and gendered labor, each artist reclaims the everyday to challenge cultural narratives and create intimate, critical dialogues through their chosen materials. taken in Russell Janis Projects by @awindownyc

This Mother’s Day, instead of posting a photograph, I want to post a portrait of my family: my grandmother, mother, and aunt.
Here’s a piece from my series “The Parties,” which is a forensic examination of my family’s Colombian and Italian linens. By printing clear vinyl and flocking on these linens, I unearth the traces and evidence of a life lived. My family’s life. These textiles were companions and witnesses to their lives. They carry the imprints left by them through the years.
Textiles are powerful depositories of our imprints in this world- our traces of being.
Happy Mother’s Day!
