acrylic painting depicting the process of making hallacs with pink yarn stitched through the canvas and arranged around the figures
another part of the Tied With String series (for the ap art exam)
my mother is venezuelan, and growing up a lot of my connection with that culture was through her and her friends, and yearly holiday traditions like this: making hallacas and being a part of the assembly line
so i wanted to make a piece depicting how those traditions and the process of making and learning how to make these cultural foods is part of what connects us as family, cause many of the people in my life i consider family are not related to me by blood, but it’s through these connections and events that make them family
