René Garza — Correspondances #2

At the heart of my artistic journey lies a profound exploration of intent. The creative process unfolds across multiple dimensions: creation, reflection, and activism. I deconstruct meaning through the repurposing of textile waste. The process and materials employed often become the guiding force behind the creations.

Embracing a minimalist aesthetic, I rely on simple shapes, lines, and a limited color palette to articulate my ideas with clarity.The stark dichotomy between the realm of high-end aesthetics and the discarded remnants of our overpopulated world is confronted head-on.

My textile sculptural work delves into the intricate interplay between humanity and the natural world. I employ techniques with repetitive forms, such as knotting, braiding, and weaving on geometric base structures. The simplicity and power of these humble skills ground the work, evoking a sense of the organic connection we share with nature. With each knot, I manipulate textiles— inherently soft and malleable—transform into structures that possess shape and form. These structures hold space within the exhibition, demanding attention and challenging us to confront our role in the current state of our Earth.

One ongoing series, first debuted at an exhibition in Marfa, Texas, centers around the conventional business suit—a symbol of conformity and detachment from the consequences of excessive business practices. The works pay homage to my admiration for conceptual art and geometric aesthetics by transforming the suit into reliefs and sculptures. Recognizable fragments, like sleeves and deconstructed jackets, find new life in orderly stacking techniques. These works don't merely dissect the physical components of the suit; they probe its very essence and significance.

My work serves as a poignant reminder of the environmental consequences of our actions. It invites contemplation of the path we tread as consumers of a world teeming with textiles. Just as weaving carries a rich history of storytelling, I aim to continue this tradition by carrying forward a story of awareness—one that weaves together the threads of textile waste and the urgent need for change.
