...notebooks made from reused materials and pictures...
... garbage for ones, richness for others... old books, pieces of old papers and magazines.... small dry flowers.... images, pictures... big brik notebooks to write all those things you don't want to forget... to draw and sketch and doodle... ...hours of work around unique moments, captured with clicks, around the world... pictures that walk around, inspiring the writings and travelling of others... or making travel those ones that look at it... pictures that become notebooks... ...photography never had sense, to me, in an exhibition... you go there, look at it... and then you go away... I like to make them objects that you can take with you... something that it's present on the daily life... that acquire a special meaning connected to a specific period, when the notebook accompany that person... that acquire a self life, beside the one that it has already.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/pezinhos79/ |

...the bookbinding brought me to the wood pyrography and the intuitive drawing... i create my pieces deeply connected to the person that will take them to the road… in a common process of inner travelling. subtleness, time, intuition, allowing my hands to create… to travel. in all direction and between defferent dimensions. bringing inspiration from one to another. I've had the privilege of having the mountains as a nest, during my early life along with the life of lisbon and it's special hills with narrow streets. With the background of classic and contemporary dance, I've deepened my life between the stage and teaching. In 2011 life brought me to another dimension of living. slowly i dropped the high tension that our society submits us, allowing this will to grow, of being with myself, away from all the noise and sickness i feel in all the urban areas i've been travelling to. After almost 5 years of deep experiences and meetings, "today" i feel the profound privilege of living... each step i make is whole, together with the elementals, my intuition and the teachings of universe. i'm inspired by simplicity… old stones, deep forests, ancient beings with baby life in their eyes.. http://catarinaascensao.weebly.com/ |
