Karola Pezarro Conjures Hidden Thoughts and Emotions Through Gauzy Embroidered Portraits

Karola Pezarro visualizes entangled webs of emotions and thoughts. The artist works on a sewing machine to render figures with preoccupations that swell and trail in colorful forms, arising from their bodies as hats, blooms, and even faces. Pezarro feels a sense of remove from the characters in her works, which she considers almost autonomous, as if they emerged from thread of their own accord.

The woven forms are porous, layering on top of and entangling with each other in delicate compositions. “I love the fragility and stubbornness of thread. Irregularities and imperfections are always present. They are meaningful to me,” the artist says “Where a ‘figure’ first appears in a quick drawing, the slow process of embroidery adds depth and focus.”
