Interdisciplinary. Community. Advocacy. Humor.
Since 2003 I chose latex as material for my jewellery . The paint-like qualities of latex allow me to work between medias: painting and jewellery. I believe I am getting an approach closer to sculpture rather than painting with these.
Although I am making necklaces, pendants, and rings I did not pursue the virtuous techniques of traditional jewelry, but a much more gestural approach.
In these new pieces I used for the first time mineral pigments."Fe" is the chemical simbol for iron, a substance also found in blood.
The clay is more than a simple mold, it is now the field of action for the hands which is revealed by the latex. Instead of using standard tools to make my pieces, I use my own body to generate its forms and proportions.
Some of these pieces were shown at JOYA, Barcelona.
