Interdisciplinary. Community. Advocacy. Humor.
This was my first series of latex pieces. Latex was crucial to brazilian development at a certain point, it helped to build Manaus, in the Amazon area, was like gold somehow. Today, well today we all know it is not the same. As everything, the value of things keep changing from time to time. When I choose to work with it I was discussing also value.
But also, a someone educated as a fine artist I was looking for its plastics qualities. So this was the time when I started to focus on the paint like qualities of latex.
Using clay and plaster to produce unique molds, pouring the latex and then painting many layers of latex over the pieces.
Some of these pieces were exhibited at Schmuckschau, Munich (2004)
