Pedras Videosrocks in Azores

 

pedras (stones) 2003 - 2005

In "Açorianidade," 1932, Vitorino Nemésio, wrote: 

“For us, geography is the same as history.
Like mermaids we have a double nature:
we are made of flesh and stone.
Our bones dive into the ocean.”  

The geography and history of the Azores islands, where my first visual memories are located, is what informs these paintings and videos done mostly between 2003 and 2004.
