Hector Gomez is a Mexican-American artist based in New York City, working across weaving, photography, and portraiture. His practice comes directly out of years working in studio production and commercial imaging environments, where he built and worked within systems for handling large volumes of photographs, 3D scans, and digital assets. That experience of making images through structured workflows, repetition, and technical processes continues to shape how he works as an artist.

Weaving, photography, and portraiture operate in his practice as connected ways of building images and holding experience. Thread, pixels, point clouds, and printed forms exist in the same field of making, where material and information are constantly translated into each other. His work moves through textile processes, photographic portraiture, and digital systems like 3D scanning and image processing, treating them all as part of how images are constructed and carried.

At the core of his work is a focus on survival, labor, and the everyday reality of making things through both physical and digital systems. He is interested in how meaning forms through repetition, attention, and process, and how images hold traces of the work that made them.

In the studio, that usually just means building things, breaking them apart, and building them again until they start to feel right.
