The Wounded Healer is a term I came across awhile ago and it refers to an archetypical dynamic constellated by an analytic relationship. It comes from the Greek legend of Asclepius, a Greek doctor who in recognition of his own wounds established a sanctuary at Epidaurus where others could be healed of their ‘wounds’. For me, its meaning refers to those that, by having gone through pain and 'wounds' within themselves, for having known it and gone through its transformative actions, are then able to heal and help others. That is the inspiration and core of this drawing. By using tools that have been somewhat damaged - as a creased ruler, an uneven table, a worn-out pen - and letting them give shape and texture to the lines, that became gauze-like, used to protect wounds, I intend to bring awareness to the fact that damages, even though strange, or unusual, can be a tool - and if its seen without judgment, can become the source of something beautiful and even revolutionary.

Tássia de Matos Bianchini (Brazil, 1988) studied Product Design at UFPR in Brazil, graduating in 2013. Following that, she turned her focus of interest towards the arts, mainly visual expression and literature. Having nurtured since then a multidisciplinary practice, she works with a variety of media and topic that interlace, with some core themes, as her research on abstract expression, memory, materiality, feminism and reflections on motion, time, and space. She is currently living and working in Amsterdam. Artist Statement My research entails the themes of expression, body, primal communication, memory, mythology, feminism, inner and outer ecologies, and expressions of space, time, and movement. I navigate these themes through the dynamics of contrast as action and contention, matter and spirit, inner and outer spaces, silence, and communication. I am interested in art processes as triggers for inner transformation; My process is oriented by (e)motion - of, and - within the body and its connection with thinking. I use intuition and movement in a certain environment as a meditation, that occurs by gathering of perceptions, both internal and external, that are then released through the works.
