DECLARAÇÃO DE ARTISTA
A minha proposta plástica explora a [i]materialidade e ausência em espaços corporizados em objetos narrativos através da interseção entre artes plásticas e literatura, um terreno concebido como fértil, pantanoso e dúctil.
Na sentida atomização do tempo, interessa-me sublinhar o lugar da narrativa que se imprime e exprime em objetos escultóricos, em espaços, em matérias, em instalações e em livros de artista Proponho, assim, objetos limiarmente poéticos na filigrana do mundo. Na época do imediato, exploro a potencialidade da Linguagem e proponho uma epoché onde os objetos narrativos se espacializam e expressam o inacessível, o ilegível, o invisível, o impossível, o insuficiente e o interdito. Os objetos produzidos evocam o pó, a cor, o tato, o olfato na procura do descentrado, do indefinível, do indecifrável. As imagens escultóricas começam com a vontade de contar uma história e, tal como a voz se dissipa no ar, os objetos eternos, difusos e efémeros, dissipam-se e expandem-se para lá da página branca.
