In 1995, I began a survey of more than

  50 types of minerals and clays collected from           different Brazilian states.

 

   These materials were burned at various                        temperatures in several types of

                      ceramic kilns.

 

   The result of this work are sculptures in                            Refractory Lands,

      which contains an array of textures and

        colors derived in unexpected ways.

 

     This work has since been exhibited

     in several solo and collectives Exhibitions               throughout Brazil and abroad,

               in the last 25 years.
