Michael Bolanos

Using fiber, I uncover what is concealed, tucked beneath the surface, reading shapes and patterns to make sense of what they reveal.

Knowledge reshapes pattern.
How truth does not erase what was,
but bends it.
Recolors it.
Makes new lines visible.

Image of yarn sculpture hanging from ceiling that drops into a puddle of blue dye

Close up of blue dye puddle

Image of a room filled with red material and yarn softly lit

Close up of papers on a counter with red dye all over

Close up of a puddle of red dye surrounded by pillows and fake lit candles

A chair uplit casting a shadow on the wall, with red dye all over the surrounding walls, and red material on the cieling
