About the work

In this work, the bronze is held inside a black border, a forno chamber seen from outside. Clay walls contain the live ember. It is the ceremony, and the presentation, of fire.

A bronze panel held inside a black border. Buenópolis, on the Espinhaço range, is one of the long carvoaria towns of central Minas, a place named for prosperity but built on the smoke of the cerrado mata. The composition reads as the chamber of a forno seen from outside: clay walls holding in the live ember. The most formal of the three Brasa works, the presentation, the ceremony, of fire.
