Using symmetrical structures as matrices for countless variations, Terrazas explores cosmic concepts, placing the earth at the center and the celestial dome at the periphery, while essential forces – gravitational, electromagnetic, and nuclear – compete for the space in between.
The technique involves affixing colored wool onto wooden panels coated with Campeche wax, acting as an adhesive. The thread moves along, reproducing the lines, curves, meanders, and changes of direction required by the motif. This process entails tirelessly repeating back and forth movement, during which each strand is tightly glued along the previous one, leaving no gaps or openings between them.2of 2
