Carmen Mardonez (b. 1988, Chile) is a Chilean textile artist who has lived in Los Angeles since 2017. Her artwork seeks to radically reimagine intimate spaces of memories, dreams, and discovery, exploring variations around traditional embroidery by combining oversized formats, textile sculpture, and the recovery of textile waste.
Carmen studied History and Arts at the Catholic University of Chile and earned a master’s degree in Community Psychology at the University of Chile. Her work has been exhibited in Building Bridges Art Exchange and Craft Contemporary among others and has received the support of several grants, scholarships, and art residencies.
