The process of deconstruction—be it material or conceptual, entails pulling things apart and bringing hidden aspects to the surface to either understand them more deeply or reinterpret them completely.

Margarita Jane Arguedas hand-deconstructs knit fabric to its fundamental form through a meditative and labor-intensive process.

Grounded in the principle of how everything is connected, her work serves as an examination of patterns and systems, such as the fabric of society, ecology & consciousness.

Arguedas explores the material and process through painting, installation and sculpture. She currently lives in Portland, Maine, USA.
