My heart is broken

I’m making another heart, for the next month annual exhibition in Sintra.
No photos yet, I want it to be a surprise.
This afternoon I broke the terracotta model in a clumsy move.
I’ll peak up the pieces and repair it. Tomorrow it will be good to go, I hope.

We rarely treat our models with the respect they deserve...as we see them only as stepping stones to the 'real art". Yet they can be as wonderful as drawings in showing how we think and work and change our minds on a project.
Good luck with it. looking forward to seeing both the model and the finished art.; May 24, 2011 at 11:43 PM

The creation of my pieces starts with the observation of the complex relations established between phenomena as diverse as nature’s fertility, man made objects, music or art history. It’s an intimate work in search of integrating conflicting forces, ultimately leading to the transmutation of the parts in to a transcending whole. The shape contains in it self the memory of the evolution from one condition to another in a process of transformation that is at the same time natural, personal and cultural.

A concepção das minhas peças parte da observação e da abstracção das relações que se estabelecem entre fenómenos tão diversos como a fertilidade da natureza, objectos de construção humana, a musica ou a história da Arte. É um trabalho íntimo que busca integrar forças em conflito e que conduz à transmutação das partes num todo que as transcende. A forma guarda a memória da evolução de uma condição para outra, num processo de transformação que é pessoal, natural e cultural.
