About the work

In this work, the blue of long copper and the rust of long iron meet in an unforced cross. The composition refuses geometry but admits it, half artist, half the material's own appetite. The scale is intimate.

A panel that gives back the chemistry of the place, the blue of long copper, the rust of long iron, met in an unforced cross. Lavrinha is at once a name and a vein. It would be wrong to call the work small. It is intimate. Intimacy is the harder scale.
