My work is about reliving memories of my childhood in Brazil – an escape to a child’s naïve dreamworld, where one can playfully discover the world and the beauty of nature. A skeleton is a carrier of past memories and a device for recreating them. I hope that by wearing and playing with my marionette animal-skeletons I can trigger childhood memories and evoke the child in you. Just as time adds layers to nature and memories, my animal-skeletons are in a process of transformation, creating a new image.
