In two series of loomed textiles, the weaver Porfirio Gutiérrez honors his Zapotec ancestry. “He is contributing to a greater, critical conversation that aims to re-center indigeneity,” the art advisor Veronica Fernandez recently told Whitehot Magazine. Raised in a traditional weaving community, Gutiérrez began learning his craft during childhood. His textiles are made using Zapotec methods, as well as natural elements for dyes—Mexican tarragon, for yellow, and cochineal insects, for blood red. Gutiérrez also uses symbols in his designs; in “Cosmos,” he alludes to the cosmology of the night sky and depicts elements such as corn stalks, which refer to fertility. In “Continuous Line,” Gutiérrez draws inspiration from the modern artists Anni Albers and Agnes Martin. His roots in tradition liberate him into modernity and mystery. —Jeanne Malle
