Tagua y plata: expresiones contemporáneas (Zonas de contacto y zonas de macidez) [Notas y Apuntes]

A propósito de esta exposición de joyas y objetos ornamentales confeccionados a base de tagua y plata, el autor realiza un breve recorrido sobre la presencia y significaciones de estos dos materiales en la literatura y el folklore ecuatorianos. Indica que la muestra propone renovadas perspectivas en cuanto a colores, texturas y diseño, en una acertada amalgama de vegetal y mineral. Los diseños de plata recurren, al mismo tiempo, a motivos ancestrales, mágicos, sin olvidarse del impacto visual y táctil que pueden producir. La concepción de estas joyas de creación colectiva trasciende, entonces, los límites de lo folklórico, y las convierte en una propuesta estética novedosa.
