Current Focus
Since the beginning of my career I have been working with assemblages, installations and painting. I work by forming a shape around my environment and trying to make a relationship between these shapes in order to create a new image.
By using different materials, each work can bring new life. I am interested in researching the relation between systemic organizations and the unconscious. How do unconscious process influence and/ or redirect establish patters of image-productions, such as seriality? I have approached these questions by focusing on the theme of duration. In some previous works I have used the time it takes the resin to dry as formative element in the figurations of serialized rows of circular plastic covers. Since the resin ends up assuming random forms, the duration of its hardening becomes an element that disrupts the work’s pre-established serial system.
The shape I find is important to me because it has been used for other unknown situations and has left a form which I can adapt to make a new shape. I put pins into a piece of foam. I put the first pin in and continued nailing following the shadow of the circular heads of the pins. I was trying to catch an image that shows the mutable conditions of an ephemeral instant that lies between that which I perceive and those that which I feel.
