Muscles and nerves

The design is a fragile but useful structure in which all that is liquid settles. It is a map that has already been drawn on, filled with tensions that distort the original idea.

The idea with this process is to search for the uncontrollably prepared. Redrawing on the map as a liquid and constantly changing material. There is no fixed image.

The intention is to stop the flow at the moment when there is a glimpse of sensation. Just before the moment of catastrophe. It is necessary to follow Klee's formula 'not to make visible, but to make visible'.

A face seen from the front is a moving mass, a changing form that appears to be still and at the same time crumbling.

Sensation' is more powerful than the information we perceive as real. Sensation is vibration. It is an electric current. And to embody that sensation is like giving form to water. Sensation runs through your body through your nerves. A body without organs, without bones, just muscles and nerves. In this way we transform water into a denser element and we can handle, albeit with difficulty, the substance that has now become semi-liquid. Changing the chemical composition in any way changes the properties of the material.

Colour tends to expand and contract in all its dimensions and the line, with its defining profile, controls these infinities. With this combination of muscle and nerve (colour and line) we create mass. Invisible forces come into play. The irritability of the lines shapes the masses of colour. The invisible spreads like a shock wave in all directions, cutting, stretching, bending, undulating and folding. All invisible forces come from within. It is not a matter of inventing forms, but of capturing the thrusting forces. Thus sensation is either a means of deforming bodies, or an attempt to shift formation in constant flux, or both at the same time. Sensation is in the body itself, without internal or external structures to support it.

My action keeps a low profile. I act like a foreign body in the liquid medium, like an acrobat drawing circles to stay afloat. Seeking rhythm in a logic of the senses that is not rational. It is a hysterical and uncontrolled mobility, without organs. A torrent of life that spills out like a map without borders that can contain the forces that push uncontrollably.

To design is to open up avenues for the sensations of drawing, to plunge the face of the person into the liquid and make the head of the human emerge. The head that searches for the heart-rending scream that is locked in the stomach of each one of us.

The vital objective remains the same;

to stay afloat.
