Kwee Den Seh
Abigail OgilvyAbigail Ogilvy Gallery proudly presents Kwee Den Seh, the gallery’s second solo exhibition by the fiber artist Katrina Sanchez. This body of work, grounded in repetition and ritual, explores comfort as an act of care, survival, and resistance in times of grief, instability, and violence. The title Kwee Den Seh, a phonetic spelling of the Spanish word Cuídense (“take care of yourselves”), reflects Sanchez’s practice of creating spaces of tenderness and connection. Rather than offering a resolution, the works hold space for emotional intensity, meeting the weight of the moment with softness, chromatic saturation, and tactile depth. Sanchez incorporates a vintage punchcard knitting machine, threading butterflies. The symbols of migration and transformation. Anchoring one wall of the exhibition is a series of four woven panels, robust in texture and presence. Made from vibrantly colored eyelash yarn, creating visual fluff. Sanchez invites both overstimulation and meditation. Katrina Sanchez, a Panamanian-American artist based in Charlotte, NC, works across fiber, soft sculpture, and murals to explore themes of joy, connection, and healing. Known for her oversized, hand-knitted noodles and richly textured installations, she builds environments that foster intimacy while confronting space and scale. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a BFA in Fibers, Sanchez is a member of Goodyear Arts and has exhibited nationally and internationally. Her upcoming projects include a solo activation at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, and current solo exhibition at Abigail Ogilvy Gallery in Los Angeles.
