Statement

My eyes capture thousands of images, mental photos.

Saved on my memory reel.

That come to life through what I create, a new narrative.

Resignifying fragments of life, weaving living memories.

Inviting to the deep, silent and a introspective contemplation.

Ana Grajales

Uruguayan Textile Artist and Industrial Designer, based in Mallorca.

 

'For me to create is to capture my unique way of seeing and feeling through shapes, colors and textures. ​

 

I create slowly, weaving pieces on a loom, giving new meaning to an ancestral craft. ​

 

My work focuses mainly on experimentation with natural fibers, especially wool, using both Uruguayan and Mallorcan wool, seeking the fusion of both identities. ​

 

I also experiment through sculpture, light and writing, fusing various media and materials in the quest to build my own experiential universe.'

My Story

My story with wool comes from another life.

 

In this one, it came back to me in 2017.

 

It came back to transform my pain, to help me in my reconquest, to intertwine fragments of my life.

 

That day was the beginning of everything.

Throughout the years, many things changed, but there was something that remained intact, that force, that voice that always told me there was something more than what I knew waiting for me.

 

To be writing this today, I fought several battles, I had to tear down a few beliefs and peel back a few layers.

 

Wool and art allowed me to connect with new parts, places I didn't know existed, but above all they showed me the way, the one that gives me goosebumps.

In 2021, after a vacation in Mallorca, I realized that the life I had built no longer resonated with me.

 

A year and a half later, I left Uruguay and moved to the island, where I still am today.

 

I embarked on a return journey to this land, one very similar (and not so similar) to the one my great-grandmother Saladina made more than 90 years ago from Spain to Uruguay.

 

I began to navigate new depths, explore new territories, and my perspective changed once again.

 

I began to inhabit silence, time stopped slipping away, and I understood that as long as I have myself, I will always be home.

 

I write my story every day, weaving together living memories.
