CV | Press

Daniela Gomez Paz is a Caleña-US mixed media artist combining textile elements with painting and sculpture. She threads fibers as strands of information, exploring notions between the body, biology, nature, and femininity. Gomez Paz is interested in deconstructing oversimplified relationships that define these notions by delving into a critical space that draws from her transcultural migratory experiences, working through the knots and layers within the nuances of language and cultural perspectives. Utilizing organic and synthetic material, Gomez Paz assembles broken and discarded objects, hoping to invite reflections of the self that are more tangled with the divergent, and interrelated across time and space. She coils the fantastical with the archival, suspending movement in place, capturing moments in flux—documenting the undocumented.
