Margins, Cuttings, and Leaves: Traces and Processes

​Margins, Cuttings, and Leaves: Traces and Processes 
Nina Fraser & Guests: Art & Craft Refúgio


The exhibition Margins, Cuttingss, and Leaves: Traces and Processes stems from the artist residency led by artist Nina Fraser in collaboration with participants of Art & Craft Refúgio, who were invited to revisit their memories and lived experiences through experimentation with materials, using the garden at Jardins do Bombarda as a starting point.
Inspired by processes and methodologies found in nature—including mycelium, understood as a metaphor for connection, transformation, and continuity—the residency approached loss not as disappearance, but as a space for renewal and creation. The traces gathered from the environment became a shared language, giving rise to a collaborative work and a series of individual artist's books, in dialogue with the artist's previous works and with the very creative processes that run through the exhibition.
Amidst margins, cutouts, and layers of material, the exhibition reveals itself as a living territory of memory, gesture, and continuous transformation and artistic creation.
