Today is the first time that I am communicating through this invisible web of strings that is the internet, which for me, is a completely new experience and a confusing one.
Nevertheless, I should be familiar with handling strings. I have 25 years of knowledge by using them for unification, modification, and creation. I will try to give a better explanation of what I intend to say:
My true passion is to give life to materials and objects by assembling them together: always using needle and string. I started 25 years ago from pressure from my father who already established himself in this trade (imagine, I wanted to be an illustrator or a graphic designer). There was great resistance at first, but in little time I was able to fit myself into this new outfit, eventually making it my own; thus, starting to create custom-made dresses and collaborate with high-fashion brands, which was really exciting at times, to propose and produce embroideries by hand. It was this very experience that made me realize that there are no limits to the usage of materials and also that the artistic expression is similar to that of graphic design.
I wanted to connect these two worlds, which are equally intense and important to me, with an absolutely personal interpretation. I began to make panels, dressing screens, and also lamp shades with different types of material (mostly scrapped fabric, stone, paper, wood, metals, etc.), assembling them to blank surface using only needle and STRING.
As you can see, this string is really a guideline and to me, is very familiar but also mysterious and partly unknown.
