Angelica Raquel: "Mystic Threads" features primarily fiber-based work inspired by a rich familial and regional cultural history rooted in folklore. Expanding upon her family’s oral storytelling traditions, Raquel conjures a mythical visual narrative, woven from childhood memories, dreams, urban legends, and ancestral lore.

Human-animal hybrids beckon from whimsical, painted landscapes, while sculpted creatures entice with soft felted bodies, adorned surfaces, and vivid colors. Reality and fantasy comingle in Raquel’s spellbinding universe, encouraging the viewer to lean into the beautiful unknown.
