Description
Guatemalan artist Lucia Muster, known for her large-scale string art like “Time in Space,” incorporates the common element of tension in her works. Whether it’s macrame, embroidery, or weaving, Muster explores tensioned threads, a concept inspired by her experimentation with her own hands and Mayan loom weaving, where tension is fundamental playing a pivotal role in determining the stability and tightness of the woven fabric. Maintaining proper tension is essential for even spacing of warp threads, enabling intricate designs while preventing irregularities in the weave.
