In 2007 I first started to work using wire threads, inspired by ancient knitting techniques, apparently anachronistic that I first learned with my mother and some of her female friends. All my works are limited series or unique, all handmade using finger knitting and a knitting needle.
Since then that I started to produce, firstly, small objects such as jewelry and sculpture prototypes of bigger ideas that started to assume shape later on in 2009. The knitting processes that I use are based on crochet, stitching, tricot and embroidery techniques that I adapted to the shape and dimension and transparency I want the object to have. Most times the object appears in my mind momentary or by accident, sketches and drawings are rare in my creative process; usually I draw just to keep the idea fresh in my mind and prevent it to become permanently oblivious. The work design is mostly started by texts and notes written in several different books and pieces of paper.
When I create a sculpture or jewelry I usually approach themes that are close or interest me, universal themes that anyhow make part of my visual memory, interpreting feminine themes (with a feminine approach) like conception, birth, power, body and sex. My work is an intimate and personal view on physiological and emotional memories of some of the endlessness human internal landscapes.
Creating organic sculptures, based on geometric forms, is something recurring in my work, and that I continue to develop, inspired by the complexity and richness of colors, textures of the circulatory, respiratory and female reproductive systems, I developed a range of objects, based on spherical shapes, which accompany the very pulse of my knitting spiral execution (loop). These metal objects oppose organic and metal, delicacy, transparency and inhumanity, offering an emotional experience of some of evocative landscapes of the body organs.
