NECKLACE

Wine barrel staves · Mendoza wool · Bronze

The wood comes from wine barrel staves that have already held wine, carved into three plates linked with bronze.

The wool comes from sheep raised in Mendoza. It was spun by hand with a spindle or spinning wheel by Alicia Videla, of the Huarpe community of Las Lagunas del Rosario, Lavalle, and dyed with plants: chañar bark and jarilla. Ramona Barros, of the Paula Guaquinchay Huarpe community of Asunción, also in Lavalle, wove it on a loom.

Several hands meet in this piece; the studio brought them together in bronze.

Wood carved by sculptor Pablo Comadrán.
