Contexto da cor - Exhibition.
When you dive into natural dyeing everything becomes visible.
Everything is of influence: the water you use, the minerals in the soil where the plant grew, the temperature of the dye, the time in the pot, your concentration.
The color brings out the invisible. It’s an alchemic process where something dies and another comes to life.
The exhibition was held in the context of the creative entrepreneurship program promoted and managed by ArteriaLab (University of Évora ) and funded by Interreg Magallanes ICC. CACO - Association of Artisans of the Odemira County was the creative hub incubator of the project.
100 scarves
To support my artistic residency at CACO I put out a pre-order scarf sale where everyone ordering could choose from two designs and adapt it with their own colors (1 > 8colors max). Out of 100 orders only a handful of scarves were chosen identical. This observation was incredible and affirmed my belief that the way we dress could be far more authentic when given the space and time.
