BIO

Bibiana Badia is a Mexican artist working with wood and textiles. Her practice explores perception through material, using carving and stitching as processes through which forms emerge over time.

Her work takes the form of layered structures that function as thresholds, spaces where interior and exterior, visibility and concealment, begin to shift.

She lives and works between Tijuana and San Luis Gonzaga, Mexico.

STATEMENT

My work unfolds as a series of thresholds, spaces where matter holds the potential for transformation. Through wood and textiles, I explore perception as a bodily experience, where form is not imposed but allowed to emerge.

Carving and stitching become processes of attention and listening, where material guides the development of the work. Each piece holds a tension between interior and exterior, visibility and concealment, allowing forms to appear gradually over time.

The work exists in a state of becoming, an opening, a passage, a space where something begins to take form. Rather than representing, it holds space for transformation as it unfolds.
