ArtWork Details
Gaia II Ada Colocho embodies the interconnection between all living beings and their environment. Selûn Collective offers this limited edition giclée print as part of the Ada Collection. It comes in A2 size (42 × 59.4 cm / 16.5 × 23.4″) on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.
This piece draws its name from the Gaia theory. Specifically, it envisions our planet as a self-regulating living organism. Colocho translates this concept into textile art through her signature Apis Ferrugo technique. She applies iron implements directly to natural-fiber canvases. As a result, an oxidized surface emerges from the melding of metal and fabric. She then embellishes this oxidized canvas with a mix of traditional and modern hand-embroidery techniques.
Furthermore, the Gaia II Ada Colocho print invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between humanity and nature. Rich textures and nuanced colors evoke the complexity of ecosystems. Consequently, the piece reflects on the urgent need to preserve our planet's delicate balance. The combination of rust oxidation and hand embroidery brings an organic, living quality to the work. Above all, it emphasizes the harmony between the natural world and human creativity.
