Portfolio > ¡Hay Que Cortar Las Medias! (2025)

Founded Yarn, burdened medias (tights), mx-dyed yarn, mx-dyed warp, corn husk, founded beads

An evaluation of my Catholic School experience through the perspective of weaving, dissecting traditional Catholic beliefs in the process.

From a personal experience, medias reflect the frustrations of having to conform to the uniform agenda and traditional practices of Catholic school, emphasizing the feeling of restraint. It feels so good once you cut your medias...

Yarn was dyed/selected based on the color palette of Catholic symbols (el Cruz; la virgencita's veil; el Rosario; eucharist)
