Studies for Mimesis - 2007

Studies for Mimesis

SPRING . SUMMER 2008

 On the threshold of garment as a functional object, the experiments gain a sculptural aspect. The proposal registers into the materials used the clothes' memory, considering each garment of each person’s history and its body marks. This project has a strong experimental and interdisciplinary nature that leads to new shape responses with the purpose of crystallizing, reproducing and materializing the ephemeral (object) and the intangible (memory).

Collaboration with Jeweller Catarina Dias for Mimesis
