Architectural Textiles by Sarah Zapata Discover Materials Tradition and Intersecting Identities
SHARE

In vibrant patchworks of woven patterns and fuzzy fiber ends, Sarah Zapata’s sculptures (beforehand) emerge as wall-hung tapestries, standalone items, and forest-like installations. By means of the convergence of architectural buildings, comfortable textiles, and myriad patterns and textures, her site-specific works study the character of layered identities formed by her Peruvian heritage, queerness, her Evangelical upbringing in South Texas, and her present house in New York.

Zapata balances time-honored craft practices with modern functions, highlighting the importance of Indigenous Peruvian weaving, for instance, as a way of communication. Symbols and patterns composed into material historically offered a way of sharing information and cosmological beliefs.

Set up view of ‘Beneath the Breath of the Sun’ (2024) at ASU Artwork Museum, Tempe, Arizona. Commissioned by CALA Alliance

In summary sculptures that always merge with their environment, Zapata incorporates surprising and vibrant coloration mixtures with woven materials and tufted textures. Resisting simple categorization, her items are neither practical nor purely ornamental, though they play with aspects of each.

Zapata consciously holds again from creating work that’s too “beautiful,” inviting a exceptional, tactile exploration of relationships between craft, lineage, neighborhood, and reminiscence.

Among the works proven listed here are included in Assist Constructions at Sargent’s Daughters, which continues by means of by means of Might 3. Discover extra on Zapata’s web site and Instagram.
