I consider my work to be perhaps a response to the earth.
And if not a response to the earth, then perhaps it is a testimony to a conversation with it.
A conversation with the space and time that surrounds me, with the sensations that are triggered in my body. I am interested in space being the main influence on my practice, in the landscape around me being what guides and drives me to explore.
Curiosity plays a major role in the development of my work. There is a need to make things happen and to experience the very event of creation, of its process. I am interested in how space creates a motivation and need in my body and spirit, and above all, the role that sensitivity will play in this need.
Hence my interest in a nomadism inherent to my practice, there is a great desire to get to know my own work, to be able to discover it through the different spaces I occupy and, during its construction process, what its needs are after experiencing a certain time and space. I am interested in knowing how far it can go and, above all, in getting to know it again and again, in living the experience of its happening.
ENXOVAL
Prometo deitar mais lenha para a fogueira
Arder e fazer arder.
Devia ser sobre essa queimada.
De recolher os ramos necessários
Juntar o corpo com a noite
Perto das estrelas
E no escuro lançar a chama
Vê-la dançante e dançar ao redor dela.
Invocar as bruxas e com elas lançar feitiços.
Rasgar a pele e partilhar o que mora dentro
Dar espaço ao desejo e à vontade
De ser
Como se tiver de ser.
Num rasgo contínuo.
Rasgar e fazer rasgar.
