TRINIDAD MORCILLO AS THE REFERENCE FOR DRAWING MADE WITH EMBROIDERY WITH HAIR

Abstract

Human hair embroidery is a way of drawing that some women artists are beginning to use. In spite of embroidery with human hair seems to be something contemporary and completely new, the real fact is that it has a broad tradition. If we look deeper in this tradition, the artist from Granada Trinidad Morcillo must be stand out. Trinidad Morcillo was Gabriel Morcillo’s sister and the niece of Paca Raya, an embroiderer woman who worked for the Royal House. Trinidad Morcillo is a forgotten artist who deserves to be recognized and to be remembered.
