About S. Uvidia
Susana Uvidia is an Ecuadorian artist based in London. Her practice is born from memories: playing with her siblings in her parents' hardware store. The vibrant colours of indigenous markets also permeate her work, evoking a sense of belonging despite the distance.
In her works, she combines industrial materials, threads, and fabrics to tell indescribable stories. She uses threads to wrap, embroider, and hold forms that seem to move, dissolve, and disintegrate.
Her sculptures and paintings are emotional maps that reveal the desire to belong without losing one's difference. They are fragments that accompany her, where past and present intertwine in a living memory.

Embodied Memory
Thread, fabric, and form intertwine to speak of what we carry within. These pieces follow traces that cross time and distance, and that sometimes only survive in gesture. There are losses, cares, strengths that are not forgotten. They are fragments that remain with us, even when we change.
Structures in Motion
Steel and textiles come together to explore forms that sustain and allow themselves to move. There is weight, but also flexibility. These open structures ask: What sustains us when nothing is fixed?
How can we continue to assemble ourselves while we change?
Portable Resistance
With wrapped fabrics, simple objects, and found materials, these works preserve knowledge that noise tried to obscure. Like portable altars, they create refuges. Small but firm spaces. They are ways of speaking without shouting, of continuing without forgetting.
