peixe porco

I was challenged by a teacher to go to schools on the island of Flores to share my work. during this week the mornings were spent in the 2 schools where in addition to talking to the students we did several workshops. it was all so special that I wanted to leave a memory of mine in the 2 schools. so in 3 afternoons I was able to collect enough material, and during the afternoon and evening I managed to make this piece, she stayed in the escola primária das lajes das flores.

All the fragments used were collected by me on remote beaches and bays along our coast. In order not to increase the existing environmental footprint, all fragments were used as they were found, they were not manipulated or broken, no glues, paints or varnishes are used. All fragments are screwed or knotted. The structure of the piece is also made with these materials and following these rules.
