BLACK SQUARE BLACKBOARD, 2022.​

Black Square blackboard. pairs nº1, nº2 and nº3. Three pairs of blackboards, mounted on white canvas with chassis, written in white chalk, 50x50cm each. Black Square blackboard has as its premise a silent conversation between the artist and the visitors of the show through three pairs of blackboards, on which three pairs of words are read, written by the artist in chalk on a blackboard: “Past/Future”, “Almost/When ” and “Here/Now”. The articulation of minimal and straightforward pictorial elements, their visuality, and their visibility, even as bodies in space, also relies on how the work is installed so that each piece “sees” different situations of the same space/time. The conversation between artist and audience is made possible by the construction of reasoning and free association of ideas that each pair can, individually or together, trigger in visitors. Its installation in these particular places of the exhibition space raises new questions about the meaning that the action of contemplating the works can acquire whenever it is allowed to be observed in its numerous layers of meaning. In the work exhibited in the first two cities of the Do Write project, the artist invited visitors to write for her; this time, in return, it’s the artist’s turn to offer a few words back to the audience.

QUADRO NEGRO QUADRADO, 2022.​

Quadro Negro Quadrado. pares nº1, nº2 e nº3, 2022. 3 pares de lousas com fundo negro, montadas sobre tela de algodão branco com chassi, escritas/desenhadas a mão com giz branco, 50x50cm cada. Quadro Negro quadrado tem como premissa uma conversa silenciosa entre artista e os visitantes da mostra através de 3 pares de lousas, nos quais se leem 3 pares de palavras, escritos pela artista em giz de lousa: “Passado/Futuro”, “Quase/Quando” e “Aqui/Agora”. A articulação dos elementos pictóricos simples e mínimos, sua visualidade e sua visibilidade, inclusive enquanto corpos no espaço, contam também com a maneira como o trabalho é instalado, de maneira que cada peça “enxergue” situações distintas de um mesmo espaço/tempo. A conversa entre artista e público se torna possível pela construção de raciocínios e livre-associação de ideias que cada par pode, individualmente ou em conjunto, acionar nos visitantes. Sua instalação nestes lugares particulares do espaço expositivo permite levantar novas perguntas sobre o sentido que a ação de contemplar os trabalhos pode adquirir, sempre que se permite observá-la em suas inúmeras camadas de significado. No trabalho exposto nas duas primeiras cidades do projeto Do Write, a artista convidou os visitantes a escreverem para ela; dessa vez, em retribuição, é a vez da artista de oferecer algumas palavras de volta ao público.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?, 2021​

Installation of paper planes and boats made with Brazilian newspapers.

This installation displays hundreds of newspaper-made airplanes and boats freely floating on the floor and climbing the walls. The artist created the planes and boats out of Brazilian newspapers and sent them by mail. She is inviting the public to write back to her with their answers to the title of the piece ‘Where do we go from here?’, using the color post-it notes attached to each boat and plane. Visitors are also invited to create their own planes and boats, made from their local newspaper, to add to the installation and to take one if they leave one in exchange.
