ABOUT DANIELA GOMEZ PAZ

Daniela Gomez Paz crafts intersections between weaving, embroidery, painting, assemblage, and sculpture. She turns organic material, fabricated objects, natural and synthetic fibers into terrains in and of themselves allowing her to thread the autobiographical through the wider communal fabric of the familial. From this threading, she grapples with constructions of femininity and processes the inner workings of the body in relation to the non-human world. 

Her connection to color is an intuitive practice that interweaves personal memory with the tactility of nature’s impermanence. Through an intercorporeal approach with material, she makes micro and macroscale narratives reflective of everyday cycles of life, traces remnants of migratory events, and transcribes her mestizaje.

Gomez Paz draws from her Colombian-American experience and is inspired by the ancestral knowledge of weaving patterns as a form of storytelling. Her relationship with craft merges the healing benefits of textile art processes supported by expressive arts therapy research and considers the global footprints craft practices have held in feminist mobilization movements.

Daniela Gomez Paz received a BFA in Painting/Printmaking and a BA in Art History from SUNY Purchase College, a MAT: Masters in Teaching from Queens College, and an MFA in Painting/Printmaking from Yale University. Currently, she is a lecturer at SUNY Purchase.
