Vintage fabric embroideries
by Isabella Rengifo
Our September/October issue includes a profile of the work of Venezuelan artist
Isabella Rengifo. Rengifo has an unusual artistic vision that combines fragments
of recycled fabrics, ink stains, and raw sewing techniques to create naive and
dream-like imagery. Here we share additional work by the artist. To learn more
about her work, visit Maria
Elena Kravetz Gallery, Cordova, Argentina.
