Macarena Ocea - Textile Artist
Macarena is an award-winning, self-taught textile artist, based at Burrinja. She is inspired by diversity, authenticity, uniqueness and femininity. Using vibrant colours and striking expressions, her work explores themes of self-value and connections with those around her. These themes are expressed through portraiture and representations of the female form, with a strong focus in diversity of shapes, gender and age.
In the studio, Macarena utilises a variety of tools and materials in her process to create detailed texturised works. These include turfing guns, up-cycled fabrics, yarn and well-developed skills in punch needle embroidery. Using recycled/up-cycled materials is not just an environmental decision; it also embraces the uniqueness of discarded materials and gives them new purpose.
