RANT

This work is a register of my own time in this world.

Looking always for small cavities of space where to create, favouring intimacy over explanation,
looking for meaning as a product of saturation,
the contemporary
and the barroque are subjects constantly appealing to my psyhe.

Collaboration is not supplementary but structural: a method for destabilising authorship, allowing contamination, interruption and reinterpretation of one’s statement. Is where ideas stretch, distort and disperse through collective making.

^{Materiality is central. Painted surfaces, stitched elements, layered textiles and photographic fragments register and emphasise human touch, labour and time. These materials carry traces of care, fatigue, repetition and repair, making it an intuitive and ccumulative act.}Acknowledging mess, vulnerability and excess as legitimate forms of perceiving existence.
This is the place where intimate affairs, inherited histories and shared myths work as a personal archive and a cartography. Viewers are invited to decode, linger and navigate the work as a living system that keeps growing, reassembling and adapting: A symbiotic relationship that absorbs reality and creates images and objects that materialise a wonderous desire to exist as well as my fascination with death, sorcery and the spiritual world.
