VANIA R. GONCALVES + MARIANA ROLA PEREIRA
INTERLOCKING LANDSCAPES
Lisbon By Design 4th Edition | 2024
Welcome to the genesis of a captivating collaboration initiated by an intimate exchange between two artists. A shared experience of living abroad emerged as a common thread, igniting a fertile starting point. Themes of time, change, and evolution expanded their creativity, leading them on a journey to infuse their respective mediums with vitality and interconnectedness.
The artist presented two pieces where the two mediums were combined and a wall installation where the drawings of the tapestry expand out of the canvas in 3D ceramic shapes.
