ArtWork Details
Gaia III Ada Colocho continues the artist's exploration of Earth as a living, self-regulating organism. 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.
Building on the foundation of Gaia II, this piece deepens the dialogue between humanity and nature. Specifically, Colocho uses her Apis Ferrugo technique to create a new oxidized canvas. She presses iron implements onto natural-fiber fabric. As a result, unique rust patterns emerge — unrepeatable marks that mirror the organic processes of nature itself.
Furthermore, the Gaia III Ada Colocho print layers hand embroidery over these oxidized surfaces. Traditional and modern stitching techniques intertwine with the rust patterns. Consequently, the work blurs the boundary between human craft and natural process. The piece asks viewers to consider their own place within Earth's living systems. Above all, it reminds us that creativity and nature share the same impulse toward growth, pattern, and renewal.
In addition, Colocho's childhood memories inform every stitch. She recalls her mother sitting on an old wooden bench, working on embroidery beside a rushing river. These intimate origins give the Gaia series its emotional depth. However, the scale of meaning expands far beyond the personal — into the ecological, the planetary, the urgent.
