Born in Tijuana, Mexico, Aguiñiga has lived much of her life in the US. “Having lived in two different countries, I don’t feel like I really belong to either. I’m tethered between two different worlds,” she says. She also finds herself at the crossroads of fine arts and craft, and the feminine and masculine.
For her exhibition, Crossing the Line: A Space by Tanya Aguiñiga, at CAFAM, Aguiñiga created a spontaneous, site-specific structure. Made up of criss-crossed yarn with floating woven pieces that are intersected with furniture made specifically for the exhibition, the work experiments with boundaries and suspension. The result is a sort of cave where visitors can seek respite, with a mix of the functional and the purely aesthetic—a connection of disparate planes.
