• Javier’s canvas tent for “Bliss” occupies almost a quarter of the exhibit hall. Inside are a large branch covered in tatting lace and a rabbit head peeking from a hole made with skeletonized leaves, resembling a scene from “Alice in Wonderland” and symbolizing one’s self-discovery.
• In “Bliss,” the dead branch is covered in tatted lace, which is painstakingly made by knotting together threads to form a pattern.
• Leaves were hammered down until the force imprinted their structure and color onto the canvas cloth. The tent is 147 x 396 x 259 cm. in dimension.
