About the Artist
Ruxandra Guidi is a writer and journalist born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, with 20 years of experience reporting across the U.S., Caribbean, South and Central America and Mexico. Taught to sew as a child by her Bolivian grandmother, Ruxandra found improvisational stitching to be the perfect companion to her writing practice once she became an adult. Her quilts or memory maps aim to tell stories and asks questions about landscapes, such as, "What would the line between Arizona and Mexico look like if there was no border wall?" or "What is the deep ocean like?" Her first gallery show, at Tucson's Snakebite Creation Space in early 2024, has jumpstarted Ruxandra's artistic practice, encouraging her to find ways to keep showing her work and engage with audiences through her art.- https://www.fonografiacollective.com
How to Purchase
The best way to purchase Ruxandra's memory maps is to email (ru@fonografiacollective.com) asking to see a catalogue or commissioning new work, or messaging her via Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ruxguidi).About this Event
I will be working on a couple of different memory maps during my open studio hours, showing my process of choosing the recycled fabric, piecing it together and identifying the landscape or memory based on story that I will compose. I will be happy to answer any questions and I welcome any interesting fabrics visitors would like to donate to future or commissioned quilts! My pieces will be covering the walls of my small studio, as well as outside wall space.
