Summer, 2022, Painting/Collage, 80 x 40 cm
Project Description
In these pieces, I use buttons as “paint”, in shapes, colors and texture. These objects captured my attention from an early age, abundant in grandmother small village house.
Each isolated button appears to have only one functional purpose. Together, they grow larger, become three-dimensional, subvert their initial function, confusing the senses and forcing us to create more mechanisms of perception.
I reuse wood and buttons, less noble and unusual materials, mostly discarded by the industry as a by-product, labeled as “non-compliant”, “defective” and “discontinued”, thus contributing, on a tiny scale, to the urgent need of activating a more circular economy.Try it!
