One of our collaborative artists Fátima Moreno did a project with the brand Paloma Wool. They created a limited edition silk piece with one of her drawings and shot a film of Fátima drawing with water at her family’s house in Granada.
Rippling and curling gestures,
like a brush stroke, my hair, or a snake.
At the time the dates are out,
When the foxes head out to fish at the oasis
and dip their tail in the water,
the shrimps grip onto their immersed fur,
With the rapid whip-like wag of their tail,
they yank it out of the water.
The shrimps clutching on like tendrils.
Then they are gobbled down with pleasure:
How tasty! Such clever foxes!
The creatures huddle together,
slithering underneath the mud.
Then, in the sediment, the drawing.
– Fátima
“I sometimes feel that the drawing is quicker than I am; it changes and evolves almost on its own without me controlling it. Drawings can often get tired of themselves; I believe that they hate repeating themselves, so they twist and turn and look for new stimuli and ways to resonate.”
