Ixel Orozco Peregrina

Sacramento, California, U.S.A: 1973

Lives and works in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

​

Artist and Industrial Designer, graduated from the Autonomous University of Guadalajara.

​

​

In recent years, Ixel Orozco Peregrina has focused on transforming emotion into tangible objects.

​

After working professionally in industrial design in factories and workshops, she shifted her

practice toward the creation of unique objects.

 

Using both industrial processes and handcrafted

techniques, she incorporates the traces left by time itself on fragments of life—whether a slice of

tree trunk, a discarded segment, or a stone.

 

Gathered or scattered, natural elements and

handmade or machine-made products become part of Ixel’s collection, where they are assembled,

transcoded, and transformed into narratives. Each object acquires a new life by creating a bond or

bridge with the viewer.

​

Two worlds coexist in Ixel’s daily life: the open landscape of

furrows, orchards, and roots, and the shelter of civilization. Her appreciation for native seeds and

ancestral knowledge merges with industrially manufactured products in her artistic practice, which

she calls Art-Objects.

​

Over the years, her path has ranged from a handmade paper workshop using plant fibers, to

hand-sewn bookbinding, to assisting in the production of a puppet performance.

 

She eventually

established her freelance platform, “Objetos Pluriformes” (Pluriform Objects), encompassing

technical consulting, teaching creativity to gastronomy students, and fostering connections with

sustainable plant life as well as the culture and history preserved in recipes dating back to

Indigenous times.
