Andres Payan Estrada discusses his approach when engaging with students and audiences around the arts, particularly those rooted in traditional craftsmanship. He describes using materials as an entry point, encouraging viewers to first consider the physical elements that construct a piece and then reflecting on their own relationship to them. By connecting the artwork to everyday experiences, like clothing and textile production, Estrada outlines a method for making art more accessible and prompting deeper consideration of how materials are sourced, made, and used.
