Alex Trimino is a Miami-based visual artist who creates illuminated fiber-based sculptures and installations. Her work re-contextualizes the traditional use of colloquial, lo-tech crafts; crochet, knittings and weavings exploring social views on civilization, technology and gender.
In her work old things, old ways and new technologies commingle together; exploring how we connect to reality today. She uses embroidery and technology, creating a connection between past and present.
Alex Trimino was born in Colombia and lives and works in Miami, FL. She graduated with a Master in Fine Arts from Florida International University and attended Ox-Bow Artist Residency, affiliated with the school of the Art Institute of Chicago, as a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Scholarship for Visual Artist.
