"I got a chance to speak to Karina about here work, which I thought was very fresh, "Tejando Unidad". Karina explained that the medium and technique idea comes from a practice in crochet, a tradition in her family passed on through generations. The 3 subjects are almost live size sharing a parental moment , reflecting warmth and tranquility. The use of primary colors and soft texture projects an innocents and fragile structure that is seemingly easily affected by the surrounding world. The work for me did not seem like an installation, nor the word craft comes to mind, but more of a unique 3 dimensional structure, broken off from the traditional use of clay, wood, or metal sculptures, but with an apparent sensibility. Karina had 3 other works produced using the same method which I hope will continue in her work.." gt - The Art of Brownsville
