.

In my process, I create shapes that tends to escape or go out of frame.
Many times, i was enjoying the process so much, that I had to find a new way to develop new shapes, so I started to use collage and paper weaving to create unexpected shapes and have a faster idea. Overthinking can shut down a great concept.
I had a pile of used paper, some used for past stencils, some found in the street, some from failed paintings. Then I started a notebook, square format, based on a Grid, keeping my reductive choices in a notebook that i can keep in my bag, always.
Slowly it became an alphabet, repertoire of abstract typography, mixing textures, accidents, and out cuts.
It gave me one more reason to stay in the process, and re-create these fast collage in assemblage, 3D translation of them, and create this illusion in Sculpture.
Extending edges to A new path, and again developing colors interactions and surfaces.
each time recycling or up cycling materials and building shapes to stay in the moment of creation and escape of the concrete reality.
this one is the first of a serie, as an alphabet now building my own language with colors and shapes.
