My woven series of contemporary jewellery in fine silver now at Designworks Studio:

I thrive in creating pieces that are useable and comfortable, rootsy but urban, classy and yet understated…

The working process itself feels very much like a search, intrinsically born of the state I am in. A good state would be one through which I allow the weaving to flow and grow ‘inevitably’… Into a wearable art piece that will never be repeated, as it reflects that specific moment, each moment manifesting itself, treasured in its uniqueness, revealing itself to my wonder of the here and now.

 

My Tradigital Art was featured on HESA Inprint:

“I Have The Right to Freedom”

Tradigital art series #1 was influenced by the great photojournalism masters and
their humanity and by the Film Noir directors with their gloomy grays and blacks and whites, with their dark and inhumane side of human nature, emphasizing the brutal,unhealthy, shadowy and dark side of the human experience.

And it was inspired by Cordel Literature: the popular and inexpensively printed bookletscontaining short stories, poems and songs, which are produced and sold by street vendorsmainly in the Northeast of Brazil, where the artist’s mother is from.

They came from the “papel volante” tradition of Portugal and are usually
produced in black and white and illustrated with woodcuts.

The cordeis talk about popular day-to-day life concerns and offer a direct insight
of the true living conditions of the population and the rituals, superstitions
and behaviors adopted in order to cope with life’s trials and tribulations.

These rituals, superstitions and behaviors repeat and repeat and repeat and numb us to the pain but only to offer another form of “prison.”
One that we make ourselves.

Tradigital art series #1 – original pencil on paper drawings worked digitally and printedas archival quality fine art prints on Hahnemuhle 100% Rag based paper, with pigment inks.
Signed and numbered by the artist in limited editions of 25.

 

I am delighted and honored to be a member of CRAFTed: Crafts Council of Ireland’s Education Panel which aims for the development and delivery of training programmes relating to the Visual Arts curriculum at primary level.

 

“He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise.“
~ William Blake
