One of a Kind
Ivory Wood Brown Frame
The project stems from a reflection on the value of work, time, and effort dedicated to constructing images as complex and full of meaning as those found on banknotes. The meticulous process of redrawing segments of these designs line by line seeks to extract their details, expressions, and symbols from the context of money, highlighting the memories and anecdotes they evoke. In this process, the repetition of lines gradually imbues the work with a new value.
_________
The artist finds in drawing a way to explore the relevance of detail in the construction of images, objects, and spaces. The repetition of tiny elements such as the line in a drawing leads to the construction of complex universes where that detail acquires value and becomes the basic unit, like the brick in a wall.
The gesture of the repetition of small elements and the time invested in doing it is used as a tool to give "value" to the images that are constructed.
