See Through Eagle and Serpent Eyes
See Through Eagle and Serpent Eyes is a textile work made from colored embroidery floss woven between transparent packing tape and cellophane. The process recalls the traditions of textile work from Gaspar’s family's home country, Mexico, while the materials are commonly used commercially in the U.S, where her family immigrated and now resides. In this tapestry, Gaspar negotiates the line between authentic and artificial. The title is derived from the writing of Chicanx writer Gloria Anzaldua and her theorization of the experience of "in-between-ness" amidst immigrant communities.
