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 26 years.
