Mother by Katie Ruiz  Image: This piece is made with found objects and a weaving I made in Oaxaca while learning to weave. I bought unfinished artworks from a yard sale and completed the embroidery by adding it to the sculpture. Im mixing cheap objects with special wool fiber and Xtle (agave fiber) which are more precious materials. I like the polarity of expensive and cheap working in conjunction.
