Where I Wander

Installation produced in one of The Hood's retail containers.

THE HOOD opened its doors in November 2019 with the fundamental objective of creating a community related to art and a real link between visitors and residents of the region. It intends to be the heart of urban culture, receiving national and international artists through exclusive curatorship by Mistaker Maker | Artistic Intervention Platform.

Floating Stitches

For a whole month, thousands of meters of wool turned into small knots, the sound of screwdrivers working in unison became familiar and the production team surpassed the limits until this installation came to life on the roof of The Hood.

Daydreaming

This installation was produced in Lyon, during the Peinture Fraîche festival, in an old factory, now abandoned. Every year, this dark, black-painted building becomes a cultural hub, where it's possible to closely observe interventions by artists from around the world.

This installation aims to put the human figure side by side with the imposing building, contrasting the colors and creating a relation between the serenity of the installation and the dark side of the building. "Daydreaming" is an appeal to contemplation and reflection on the notion of time and space.

Immérge

This installation was produced alongside the community of Bayonne, during 2019’s edition of the street art festival Points de Vue. It was inspired by Bayonne, a city bordered by the river “La Nive” and its natural protected area “Plaine d’Ansot”. This intervention aims to reflect the urgency of observing nature, its essence and understand that we live in a complex, rich, yet fragile ecosystem.

Switch-over

Every day, for many years, thousands of kids pass by this wall while going from home to school and from school to home. Most of the time just floating in their thoughts, lost in space, time, and routine. Until their paths have to change directions. This happened to me a few years ago.
With more than 2300 screws and 700 meters of yarn, this piece is now part of the city where I was born and grew up in.

Matriz

"Matriz" is a tribute to all great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers who teach things that we carry for our entire lives. A special homage to Narcisa, my great-grandma who not only knitted my first (pink) coat but who also taught me how to knit my very first piece.
An installation that would not make sense anywhere else but in Covilhã, the city with more history and knowledge in wool production in Portugal.

Installation produced during the 2018 edition of the WOOL urban art festival. It is now permanently displayed at Casa dos Magistrados in the historic center of Covilhã.
