Terra Brasilis Series

“Terra Brasilis” is the ancient term used to describe Brazil before the arrival of the Europeans in the 16th century, when the natural environment was untouched and protected by the native people. It also represents the emotional journey through the geological landscapes of Brazil that dwell in my distant memories, revealed here from the fissures and crevices found in caverns to the outlines of the Tropical mountains I grew up admiring. 

It celebrates the detail and the vast, the remembrance and the environment. Roughness, cracks, irregularities and a true perception of the natural emerge from the unglazed clay body, imbuing this series with a sense of place and belonging. 

Most of all, “Terra Brasilis” is a visual diary, a psychological landscape that reflects the memories of growing up among the South American geological formations.
