An exploration of materiality and space through horsehair thread drawings.
Helena Almeida's project, 'Dentro de mim . 2014', delves into the material conditions of the medium by utilizing horsehair thread on paper. This series of drawings transcends traditional representation, transforming the line into an action that defines space. The line serves as an extension of the body, bridging the gap between interior and exterior, and between the pictorial plane and reality. Through minimal and precise gestures, Almeida activates the space, transforming the surface into a dynamic stage where the image becomes a tangible presence.
