AMABELLE AGUILEZ — CHANGES III 

changes III is a fiber installation made of discarded materials from a previous work. The installation continues the cycle of creation and deconstruction, deconstructing old patterns to create new threads that take the shape of a circular form. The installation interprets Aterittorial by reconnecting to the self, others, and our surroundings. The artist calls this installation “a way to connect to mother nature, creative energy, and the womb space.” Los Angeles-based Aguiluz is a Filipina American multidisciplinary artist, weaver, and teacher. Her work is deeply connected to the body, nature, and the healing power of plant medicines. She uses both traditional and unconventional textile techniques to transform organic, recycled, or found materials into sculptures, weavings, and site-specific installations. Her work has been exhibited widely, and she received the Fiber Art Now Public Installation grant for a sculpture presented at the Tucson Botanical Gardens in 2020.
