Description

“This double-sided edition interacts with air, breath, and the atmosphere of space. For me, talismans are objects that aid in protection, guidance and alignment, enacted through forms of concentration, music or meditation. They are visual reminders of the pulsating cycles of change.” —Lisa Alvarado

Hand-printed and sewn with a light-filtering silk organza center, this limited-edition banner is available in two colorways: Inhale Pink and Exhale Green. The artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity hand-signed and dated by the artist.

This is a preorder and will ship by November 15.

Meet the Artist

Lisa Alvarado

She taps into bodily pulses and earthly cycles alike, creating multi-sensory works rich with visual and sonic resonance.

About The Exhibition

A cropped image of an abstract tapestry dyed yellow and red with lines drawn in white lace. Abstract diamond and rectilinear spiral patterns radiate outward from a half moon shape at the bottom of the composition.

Talismans for a Theater of Resilience

In collaboration with the FWM Studio, Lisa Alvarado (b. 1982) experimented with sculptural fabric assemblage, screenprinting, and dyeing techniques to create two monumental hanging tapestries that will be layered with kinetic sound and tinted daylight. Weaving together ancestral memory, natural cycles, and collective histories, she creates a space of resistance, community, and renewal.
