Saelia Aparicio dwells on ideas of the organic, establishing analogies between corporeal and social mechanisms. In her practice that spans mural, drawings, sculpture and textile, she finds inspiration from classical mythology and the transformative hybrid forms found in Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and pre-Columbian Meso-America - hybrids between animals and humans such as the sphinx, Anubis or the Mayan Camazotz. In her works she creates her own imagined figures that seem to mix human forms with animals, plants, or machines. These forms are completely imagined and are very specific in their gender fluidity, drawing from the ‘two-spirited’ idea that comes from Indigenous North American culture. In the exhibition she presents her wall tapestries, a collaboration with fashion designer Craig Green, which feature a series of folk-inspired portraits that deliver an expressive take on the human form. From conceptual nature-inspired motifs like parts of walnut trees and poison ivy, the hand-stitched artworks showcase an imaginative mashup of ancient anatomical diagrams and contemporary art.
