About me

Norma (Hilo Magico) is a former communications executive from Mexico City. She is the mother of a girl and, after maternity, she started a project that fuses two of her passions: meditating and embroidery. For her, the repetition and the rhythm of embroidering is a meditation itself. She learnt to embroider from her mother, and her mother from her mother. She also identifies with the thousands of indigenous women in Mexico who have been knitting and embroidering for hundreds of years using weaving tied to a tree.
