I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting
Gabriel Dawe and visiting his studio while visiting family in Texas (lucky me, my in-laws have such talented friends), so you can probably imagine how thrilling it was for me to see some of his latest installations all the way in Italy in this amazing structure! Absolutely gorgeous!
"Originally from Mexico City, Gabriel Dawe creates site-specific installations that explore the connection between fashion and architecture, and how they relate to the human need for shelter in all its shapes and forms. His work is centered in the exploration of textiles, aiming to examine the complicated construction of gender and identity in his native Mexico and attempting to subvert the notions of masculinity and machismo prevalent in the present day...."
