#LouiseBourgeois #Maman "My best friend was my mother and she was deliberate, clever, patient, soothing, reasonable, dainty, subtle, indispensable, neat, and as useful as a spider" Encountered always from the perspective of a child looking up, the viewer will experience a slightly terrifying yet powerful and protective presence. Amazing metaphor!

From the series Destino Traçado Rodrigo is a sao paulo based artist born in 1967. I was lucky enough to visit his studio before these works were completed. For Over a year a few books laying around mata adentro (his atelier) were devoured by moths. These insects have made an astounding and surprising collaboration leaving the books with new layers and juxtaposed images provided with new meanings and associations. He carefully chose the most striking images, shot and printed them in a big scale and finally framed the works with pieces of found wood. I love the end result, don't you? www.mataadentro.com.br for more information about the artist
