"Katrin Aason B. is a non-figurative textile artist who has lived and worked in Costa Rica since 1990. She has developed a distinctive contemporary visual language influenced by Mayan and Incan textiles, and present-day weaving processes practiced in Puebla, Mexico and the Sacred Valley in Peru. Her work emphasizes the weave and symbolism through colors and shapes, using these elements to represent her most inner thoughts and feelings. Aason has exhibited her work in museums and galleries in Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, London, and the United States. "

..."Katrin painted on the fabrics to hide the artisanal nature attributed to the weaving, until several experiences in workshops abroad allowed her to lose her inhibitions and unravel what she was really looking for. With great ease she dedicated herself to weaving kinetics and that has led her to more daring experiments, including her series of highly subtle black works. From Katrin Aason one always expects a surprise, but nothing is coincidental but the fruit of her personal research."
