Knots springs from frustration with flat canvas constraints. These jute three dimensional objects/paintings, or painted objects are painted with acrylics and/or oils. Some hang from the ceiling or away from the wall, projecting shadows, some are meant sit on a flat surface . They echo my previous work, Imprese (2023) but also have a relation with the previous work Implosions (2021-22) . With this body of work I explore the interplay between inside and outside and the theme of the double. Through the transition of the internal surface to the external, in a continuous loop I explore time/space relation and the ambiguity and tight connection between internal and external worlds. This relation is true in a small scale with our own intimate world and the relation with the outside and others, but also on a larger scale between neighborhoods and the city, the city and the State, a State and the global community On the formal side the importance of colors in these works ties them strongly to abstract painting. This process also enables me to repurpose elements from previous projects that didn't turn out as expected. These elements still hold the energy from their original creation. I incorporate them into new works, blending them with fresh paint and shapes.
