No quarto de Penélope
| Resumo: | This Master's of Fine Arts thesis in painting involves the articulation of a practical and a theoretical investigation, which I entitle In Penelope’s room. The practical work is characterized by a set of sculptures with a quite accentuated textile dimension, as well as a great deal of spatiality. The creative process and the questions associated with it are the motto for theoretical research, which develops simultaneously. This focuses on the idea of an intimate creative space, where the woman is associated with the mother figure and the artist. The mother is a symbol of creation, protection and alterity. Creating comes up as a process, where the time of doing is also a gained time. Penelope is the idea of the textile artist who uses her artistic abilities as a solution. Textiles are thought of as feminine and relate to waiting and tradition. The house and the room are symbols that reflect a space of intimacy, but also a space of possibility. The space and the creator influence each other, creating an environment that carries to creation. Making confers the creator the possibility of the divine through the capability of giving away. The circular image, though unnatural, represents the whole - the image it contains. Both the womb and the house are related to this image, inseparable from the figure of the woman - just like the Great Mother, fertile symbol of nature.The place of the objects formation is often represented by the object itself - appealing to the idea of metonymy. The inner space is the beginning of the possibility of creation. In the process, harmony and silence are important - as an attempt for non-aggression. I approach some artists, among them Louise Bourgeois, Andrei Tarkovsky, Anish Kapoor and Cecilia Vicunã who, for their multiplicity of techniques and plastic languages, give this investigation a greater diversity |
