Letters to Louise
This work is still in its developmental phase. As Louise Bourgeois once said: “Art is restoration: it is about healing the injuries that life inflicts, in order to reunite something shattered – that which fear and anxiety do to a person – into a whole.”
The first Phase was to produce pictures with black gouache, from intern human organs,but using them just as a beginning inspiration. I start making one picture after anotheron the flow and just stop when I am totally exhausted.As Louise Bourgeois said: Art is Restoration; I began this process to healing myself froma very deep trauma.With this pictures I made my Garden.
Second Phase, I started to draw and paint a lot of Uterus and they started also to flower in my hands. I intend to continue this phase in big format.
Third Phase, I joined with another Brazilian Textile Artist – Lia Khey and we are projecting a very big sculpture in textile from a Giant Uterus, where people can lay down on it and feel comfortable, as they would be back to their mothers belly. We are looking for residences to produce this sculpture by now.
