An island that moves,
that is bringing things.
And that on his journey,
it's getting hooked, hooked
with others.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I'm going to start with a landscape, the landscape that draws us and shapes us, and that makes us exist in a certain way. In 2016, an invasion of camalotes arrived on the shores of the city of Buenos Aries, unexpectedly changing the environment around us. This event temporarily modified the daily horizon and in turn brought an invasion of adaptable living organisms perceived, in some cases, as threatening.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I worked on a series of necklaces that reflected this fact and that were exhibited at the CC Recoleta in a collective exhibition called\u00a0Lo inesperado de lo cotidiano<\/em>. Los camalotes y todas las implicancias de la invasi\u00f3n de estas plantas fueron mi tema de trabajo. Como una naturalista darwiniana, ilustr\u00e9 este hecho, mostrando los bordes de la costanera y la ciudad amenazadas por estas plantas que tra\u00edan bichos for\u00e1neos, animales peligrosos, cat\u00e1strofes urbanas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I draw with my scissors on textiles that I create from paint. I articulate them around a construction element, in this case, wood, which serves as a restraining rail. The appropriation of the posters of the dengue prevention campaigns on public roads helped me for this piece that is on the limit between a portable collage and a necklace that hardly finds its place on the body, which denotes not luxury but the anti jeweler's.<\/p>

I use techniques that transgress the boundaries of the traditional jewelry field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
