Textile Art | Roots Ki VII

Ana Pau Noriega is a Mexican textile artist based in Mexico City whose practice bridges traditional craft and contemporary artistic research. Her work began through extensive travel across Mexico, where she learned directly from master artisans and developed a deep respect for ancestral textile techniques. Collaborating closely with artisan communities, she reinterprets these traditions through experimentation with material, structure, and form. Working with wool, silk, and plant-based fibers such as sansevieria and henequén, her textiles explore tension, repetition, and balance to create quiet movement and depth. Each piece reflects an ongoing dialogue between heritage and innovation, positioning textile as both artistic medium and cultural expression. Moving fluidly between art and design, her work honors Mexican craft traditions while allowing them to evolve through contemporary interpretation and research-led practice.
