An MCA exclusive! This scarf is light, thin and soft with a matte finish and includes a 1cm (.4”) fringe.

Caycedo is known for her photocollages, printed on long banners of cotton canvas. It felt organic to translate her mirrored, remixed photos of water onto soft and luxurious cashmere and silk scarves, which are similarly fluid and invite interaction. Each 80” long scarf bears an excerpt from one of three artworks: Multiple Clitoris, (2016) St. Ana Pacifica, (2019) and Simulacrum (Nagold River, Germany), 2015 individually exhibit the particular voices and forms of rivers, undulations and textures building upon indigenous and ancestral visions.

Caycedo’s Water Portraits series interrogates the conventions of picturing the landscape as distinct from humans. Creating enveloping fabric installations with kaleidoscope-like imagery, derived from an experience the artist had with ancestral medicine, Caycedo portrays rivers as a living and spiritual entity that flows within and through us.

Carolina Caycedo: From the Bottom of the River is presented at the MCA Feb 12, 2020–Sep 12, 2021. Learn more.
