Gabriel Dawe




Gabriel Dawe was born in Mexico City where he grew up surrounded by the intensity and color of Mexican culture. He was eventually led to explore textiles and embroidery.


"Activities traditionally associated with women and which were forbidden for a boy growing up in Mexico. Because of this, his work is subversive of notions of masculinity and machismo that are so ingrained in his culture".
Overall an amazing example of one of the different ways to tranform thread into great instalations.
