Armando A. Sosa
Armando A. Sosa’s hand-woven, brilliantly colored tapestries and other textiles present themes and images of Guatemala, where he grew up. In them, he employs symbols and images derived from dreams and memories of traditional icons and figures, both religious and secular – some even dating back to his native Mayan or pre-Columbian heritage, others to his more recent memories of a Central American childhood. In many of these weavings he, too, has incorporated gold-gleaming metallic threads.
Armando Sosa’s textiles are woven on two wooden looms, which he built hand-built himself. The larger of the looms is six by six by eight feet in size and has forty-nine harnesses and 1360 threads across. His intricate designs are all original, though some include traditional themes. He uses silk and mercerized cotton, as well as metallic thread. His work is in the collection of the Newark Museum and the Princeton Public Library, as well as private collections nationwide.
