Mantile is an installation of four aprons hung up from the rouf for a thread. The aprons made in fabric, laces, tule, were intervened with different materials such as resin, soap or butts of cigarettes. One of the pieces was made with soap balls knitted with thread and together built the apron. The piece remembers the domestic chores related to the cleaning work and the servant. I take again the use of the apron as a symbolic costume in the women's field. And how these symbolic elements have been invisible in society.   

The work remembers some significant moments in my childhood, to talk about some abroad events that crossed the familiar live. A frequently domestic chores developed for women in my family have made of this situation a central point in mi work next to the knitt as a work able to women work and shared by them
