Tapping Into the World
by Sandra Vista
Quijano mixed media sculptural weavings are grabbing bits of spiritual mysticism with interwoven zarape patterned fabrics. Quijano's talismans create their defined magical energy. The woven ribbons provide warmth of color designed to reach the heart. Each piece has intentional spiritual symbols such as third eye beads, the Virgin of Guadalupe imagery and various "La Loteria" images such as " La Sirena" (the Siren's call). The tactile and familiar quality of each work is also a reminder of an artist as a messenger of love and understanding.
