fundamental 
form

Margarita Jane Arguedas' work is rooted in the belief that everything is connected at the most fundamental level.

Through abstract exploration, she investigates the patterns that shape the intricate web of life, drawing inspiration from ecosystems, threads of energy, and the fabric of society.

At the core of her practice is the act of deconstructing knit fabric by hand to its most elemental form, engaging with it as a living material, which she has developed for over 13 years. This process becomes a meditation on interdependence, transformation, and the unseen forces that bind us.

Through painting, installation, and sculpture, she reimagines the material as a visual language—one that speaks to the tension and harmony woven through all things.

Her recent work explores the subtle and dynamic channels of energy that move through our cells, nervous systems, and energetic bodies. The work reflects on the human experience of navigating our everyday lives within a rapidly shifting global environment—moving with, and through, the tides of change.

She currently lives in Portland, Maine, USA.
