As critic and Art writer Adriana Herrera aptly noted in Art Nexus magazine, “The cultural heterogeneity that emanates from Trimino's works translates into shapes that resonate for their convergence between personal and collective experience: Trimino interweaves the pathways of various cultures.” This insight underscores the essence of Trimino's latest installation.

Glowing from the core and cloaked in handmade textile elements, this installation embodies Alex Trimino's multimedia methodology. Originally, Trimino viewed knitting, crochet, and weaving through the lens of her Colombian heritage, associating these crafts with traditional domestic roles – which made her initially reluctant to explore them. Yet, by approaching these processes with a geometric fascination, she merged organic materials like yarn and fiber with cutting-edge tech components such as neon lights controlled by microprocessors. She examines the intersectionality of technology, gender, and societal norms. Poised delicately between tradition and innovation, this installation prompts viewers to reflect on how the past informs the present.

Alex Trimino explains her driving force behind this work by stating, “My installations re- contextualize the traditional use of colloquial, lo-tech crafts; crochet, knittings and weavings exploring social views on civilization, technology and gender”. Elaborating on this concept, she adds, “Illuminated totem poles, covered in crochet, knittings and found objects reveal the similarities between the modern, hi-tech materials used (micro- controlled neon lights) and the colloquial, lo-tech crafts used (crochet, knittings and weavings); creating an equilibrium between traditions, technologies and generations. Old ways and new technologies commingle together; exploring how we connect to reality today. I use embroidery and technology, creating a connection between past and present.” By keeping these core ideas at the forefront, Trimino's work offers a unique perspective on the interplay between tradition and modernity.
