Damian Rojo and Alina R. Rojo, 2020, If art is pure thought, “Justice Bell“ is pure unconscious cerebration based on a shared praxis. This co-authored work based on women of the suffrage movement spans several genres, sculpture, installation, printmaking and textiles. The work is the first artistic partnership by sibling artists Damian and Alina who come from two disparate fields. Damian is a multifaceted artist/ sculptor and Alina is an art educator and textile artist. Each one playing a crucial role in the ideation for this work that was born without constraints, through experimentation, and out of the vast reserves of their collective memory.

My journey as a fiber artist since 2009 has opened the door to meaningful collaborations with fellow artists. In 2020, these partnerships led me to co-found the Fiber Artists Miami Association with Miami-based fiber artists.Aurora Molina and Evelyn Politzer.
