Fig Jam and Burnt Toast

Carolina Jimenez

Fig Jam and Burnt Toast

21" H x 23" W

Mexican-American artist Carolina Jimenez calls her woven works “monuments”—to memory, bodies, and daily life. She weaves each piece by hand from natural fibers dyed using tradition Oaxacan methods and fibers she dyes herself. The visual quality of each piece is a testament to her exploration of color, tension, and material. Each piece is named after a specific memory from Jimenez's life, which has taken on new importance after not being able to visit her family in the last two years because of the pandemic. This small collection of pieces commissioned for our Winter Collection is available exclusively online through Heath.

"For me, textiles are really important because of the labor that goes into them. It’s also a way to talk about how society views textiles in general. We view them as disposable and don’t think about the way they’re made or how they come to be. There is so much labor that’s built into the material itself. It’s connected to this struggle, and i think it’s really important for us as people and as consumers to think about." — Carolina Jimenez
