Ana María Gómez is a textile designer whose practice explores the visual, tactile, and spatial dimensions of textiles through creations ranging from wearable objects to eclectic functional furniture. At the core of her work, she adopts a collaborative and experimental approach, enriched by exchanges with artists and crafts from diverse cultural and disciplinary backgrounds.
In recent years she has been experimenting in different ways with textile based on an awareness of different cultural and social worlds. She is highly interested in fortunate encounters between different cultures and ways of thinking, especially where textile has been used as language: as a way to communicate. Her aim is to gain knowledge of traditional and contemporary ways of working with textile.
The relationship between textiles, the body, and space is central to her research, fueling a deep interest in theater and performance—fields in which she has developed several costume and scenography projects.
