Primarily specialising in tapestry, Talia constructs weavings as a way to resolve her observations. Drawing from personal images as a starting point, she aims to translate one image into a new one, ever-changing as it gets processed and modified until it becomes realised as a physical object. Talía’s cultural background both in heritage (Peruvian and British) and upbringing has driven her to investigate the details of the everyday as a way to build connections to her surroundings and to others.
Talía lives and works in Liverpool.
