Edit ProfileCareer
Her work has been exhibited in Brazil, Denmark, Canada, France, Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom. She has been awarded grants by bodies such as The Triangle Association in Brooklyn and The Casa de Velázquez in Madrid. "The ship represents the Portuguese conquest of Brazil.
While the image creates a link with that past, its extraneous nature is expressed at the same time through the use of the two techniques of drawing and video.
A distance is created between today and yesterday. The image dissolves. The past fades until it disappears completely.
The video makes the artist’s search visible once again and transports its result – her present life – into the here and now".
