SUMMARY:Reflections en Estambre
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Tubbs Gallery Opening reception: Friday\, October 2\, 2020 (5 
 – 7pm).\nArtist Statement For this exhibition\, Loza share’s the vario
 us ARTE\nen ESTAMBRE pieces that capture the environment in his Arboles (T
 rees\nseries)\; his love of sea-side communities (from La Sirena series)\;
  and\nmixed media artwork from his contemporary/abstract Hombre de las\nEs
 trellas (Man of the Stars) series.  Through his art\, Loza wants to\ncrea
 te opportunities for viewers of all ages to gain more nuanced\nunderstandi
 ng of Mexican cultural traditions\; his reflections on our\nenvironment\; 
 his interpretations on Huichol spirituality\; and\ncontemporary themes of 
 multicultural communities and families. Loza\nsees his work as a form of a
 rtistic diplomacy between the United\nStates\, Mexico\, and beyond. Artist
  Bio Originally from Mexico and now\nbased in Baltimore\,  Francisco Loza
  creates Arte de Estambre\, or\npressed yarn art by working on wood surfac
 es that he covers in a\ncombination of waxes (found only in Mexico) that h
 e mixes together and\nuses as an adhesive base. Onto these waxed wooden ba
 ses\, Loza\nintricately presses\, cuts\, and shapes yarn into original art
 work of\nmultiple colors\, sizes\, depths\, and themes.  His work reflect
 s a\nmyriad of concepts including the environment\, markets\, sea-side\nco
 mmunities\, abstract\, immigration\, families\, among others. Loza’s\nor
 iginal art also highlights his interpretations of Mexican cultural\ntradit
 ions and Huichol communities based on his first-hand experience\nof collab
 orating with Huichol artisans in Mexico for over twenty\nyears. The artist
  uses mixed media with chaquira (small beaded pieces)\nthat he embeds into
  his original yarn artwork. Using a technique that\nrequires skill\, patie
 nce\, and creativity\, Loza wants people to see\ntextures and movement in 
 his pieces. He has led workshops for students\nand teachers of all ages an
 d skill levels in Mexico and the United\nStates. His workshops are dynamic
 \, and he makes connections between\nculture and art that evoke the “ah-
 ha” moment — when people can\nsee up close as to how he creates his un
 ique\, profound artwork.\nLoza’s pieces are featured at the American Vis
 ionary Art Museum\,\nMigration Policy Institute (MPI) and the U.S. Departm
 ent of State in\nWashington\, DC. Image: Transciendo\, 2017\, Arte en Est
