work one-Floating Extrusions
what
It is a site specific project that, starting from the existing structural relationship between the entoptiscope and the camera lucida, attempts to propose an analogy between the perception of floaters –a kind of wormshape thing floating inside our eyes- and the exercise of drawing. This line it is extruded with the intention of allowing this two-dimensional drawing to be projected back to the third dimension making a relation also with the drawing practice that move objects from three dimensional form to a two-dimensional image.
how
It is an installative proposal that takes places in a glassbox room. The pieces are plaster casts of a same shape disposed around the space from the bottom to the celling and from one wall to another. The sculptures size around 30 cm and are made with plaster so they are white, and are combine between each other and with some intervened glassses trying to recreate the mirror’s game from the machines before mentioned. The final result is a sort of closed space where some white sculptures and glasses are floating and camouflaging (appearing and dissapearing) in the space.
why
Because I found it interesting and also because it allows me to exercise this ideas in a practical and plastic way. And I found it interesting because it made me think about the relation between the art practice and the scientific and theorical methods to understand and to have relation with the reality.

what
It is a sculpture project that revolves around the place of the representation process through construction of the aesthetics and model canons in the western art history. It takes as starting point a Rubens ft Brughel’s painting where a kind of artist studio is represented with some paintings, and also some plaster copies from ancient sculptures supposedly used as models for future paintings. What I did was take the shape of a brushstroke from the painting and make plaster copies of that in order to be able to make compositions and sorts of “still lifes” with them with the idea of be potentially represented.
how
There are some white sculptures spread around the room. The most of them in the floor but there it is also one in the wall. They are clearly divided in groups creating composed units. The pieces that form this compositions are made with plaster and if I have to be straight describing them I should say that they look like “churros” in some way but in a bigger and white version. Their shape and the marks of the process are clearly visible and that helps to recognize that they are all the same piece but copied one time and another. All of them are broken, they are fragments.
why
Because it allows me to deepen in the process of the representation and the art practice as a process or a tool that allow us to aprehend the reality from a poetic and metaphorical reading. And in relation with that how the representation change the meaning of the thing that it is being represented. How does it work in the case of an artworks that are represented? It used to be the representation of something but when we use an artwork (an ancient sculpture for example) as a model suddenly it became an object to be represented.

work one-Floating Extrusions
what It is a site specific project that takes places in a glassbox room. The project consist in an installation made by the dispose of some pieces (30 x 8 x 8cm ) that are the plaster casts of a same shape. This pieces are disposed around the space from the bottom to the celling and from one wall to another. The form of the casts is related with the shape of a visual phenomena called "floater" –a kind of wormshape thing floating inside our eyes. The shape of the floater draws a curvy line that is extruded to achieve the final appearance of the pieces. This pieces are combined between them and with some intervened glasses recreating a sort of mirror's game.
how Starting from the existing structural relationship between the entoptiscope (a simple tool that allows people to easily draw the floaters they see inside their eye) and the camera lucida, the idea is to propose an analogy between the perception of floaters and the exercise of drawing. To achieve that I take as a starting point a floater that I used to have inside my eye and make a hand draw of it.Then I applied a sculptoric extrusion process to this draw with the intention of allowing this two-dimensional drawing to be projected back to the third dimension making a relation also with the drawing practice that move objects from three dimensional form to a two-dimensional image.
why
It is a site specific project that, The objective is to emphasize the relation between the art practice and the scientific and theorical methods to understand and to have relation with the reality.
