uma nova poesia visual
UMA NOVA POESIA VISUAL
A group show presenting works chosen through open call, adapting to the site of the old train station in Canelas, Portugal. With a theme of the environment and sustainability, a symbiosis between the artists work sustains a diverse but consistent content. A visual poetry of small fragments are extracted by diverse cultures and practices, creating a sensibility that allows us to make small records which will be attached to our memory, inadvertently. It is these small records that allow us to heal, to mourn, with a certain nostalgia, where destruction can represent a new creative ecosystem.

» Folhas do Inverno I (2022) Frottage (National Geographic magazine, beeswax, iron) on Japanese Rice Paper, Variable dimensions A Frottage technique is created from the application of heat and beeswax rubbed onto a vintage National Geographic magazine to transfer its ink to Japanese rice paper. The leaves are placed under the paper, revealing their form as an imprint. The process harnesses metamorphic qualities, and embodies a transference of time to the present state - my memory of a woodland walk is now embodied in a symbolic gesture. The leaf image acts as a reminder of our increasing psychological distance from nature, as well as demonstrating a universal representation of cycles, decay and regrowth. |
