BIO

Belinda Farinaccia is an emerging textile installation artist whose work delves into the delicate interconnections between spirit, natural ecosystems, and universal harmony. She uses fine, hand-foraged plant fibers and the poetics of thread to create gestures that serve as spatial metaphors for our place within a unified earthly and cosmic order.

Informed by an intuitive, phenomenological approach, her practice weaves together material inquiry, gentle craftsmanship, and meditative acts of repetitive making, foraging, and walking. Her installations invite viewers into a quiet interplay between the seen and unseen, illuminating the subtle, invisible forces that shape our perceptions and highlighting connection through ephemeral elements of line, space, and light.
