Description

Tese de mestrado, Escultura, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2014

The starting point for the development to this theoretical work is placed in the relation between Sculpture and Nature, in the possibilities that the natural elements have offered to sculptural production through out times. In this sense, the work is focused in establishing the different modes of interaction and cooperation between Sculpture and Nature, circumscribing these modes as topics. The resources that Sculpture uses for its formation are explored and associated to different technical procedures with the aim of understanding the commitment between Sculpture and Nature - existent both at material and technical levels. The contribution that Nature gives for sculptural creation expands its outlines when the collaboration takes place in natural spaces. The material potentialities and the modes of integration in natural spaces transform the premises of production, many times challenging the boundaries of the definition of Sculpture. The idea of Nature - treated and “portrayed” through out time - continues to stimulate the sculptoric practice to find plastic solutions, translating elements and natural phenomena in tridimensional structures, always contributing for the enlargement of sculptoric production and its understanding
