{"title":"Patricia Perales García","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHaving trained in costume design in Florence, and later spent seven years in London’s fashion industry, Patricia Perales García (b. 1991, Burgos) came to clay with a maker’s understanding of how materials meet the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHer childhood landscape in Burgos gives the work a lateral pull. In conversation with Laura Bartlett for AMO, Perales García connects that line to the openness beyond the town, a place where thought could move past the city’s edge. Copenhagen sharpened her attention to volume through buildings and rooms; on Glænø, where she also works, the day is more exposed to weather and family life, so the studio absorbs interruption as part of the work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerales García has spoken of mixing chalk with pigment before painting the sculptures, leaving terracotta with a powder-dry surface. In the textile works, pieces of cloth are dyed, painted or left bare, then joined in strips that feel nearer to garment-making than conventional image-making. A vessel may take on the tactility of clothing; there is no reason a hanging panel can’t retain the intimacy of cloth cut from a garment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/9666\/7401\/collections\/aarticles-patricia-1_ef32ace1-4d9a-4ae0-92a6-1b5397eb28cf.jpg?v=1786390595","url":"https:\/\/www.aarticles.co\/collections\/patricia-perales-garcia.oembed","provider":"aarticles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
