"Memory Trace" is a work conceived and realized in 2008. The six square works that make the installation are made from Plywood boxes dressed with a lead skin with a thickness of 1 mm. Every box consists of 5 square elements and represent the material for assembling unique pieces of art. Always in a different shape, changeable, they are made unstable and you can assemble and rearrange them as you like. They can be tied together with the cotton ribbons. At each exhibition of this work, I presented a different installation and discover always unexplored possibilities of expression. The material of these sculptures seems to be very heavy, but its surface is fragile, they look like an elephant skin. Even more delicate with the painted hydrophilic gauze fabric I used to cover the backside of the work. The work is double face. The opposition between heavy and delicate is the fruit of my research on the idea of duality, present in all my art

Born in 1949 San Sebastian, Spain, lives in Netherlands and France - Large Conceptual Installations - New projects each year - Light & heavy materials - Unconventional techniques developing works passing over the borders of sculpture and painting - Project books with special layouts - Active in many countries. My esthetic standpoint is based on the duality between life and death. Therefore in each of my projects I choose materials out of two types, either light translucent or heavy opaque ones. Among the first ones are light textile materials, as gauze, rice paper, tracing paper, organza, the second type includes lead, sea salt, wood, charcoal, porcelain and stone. I have developed my projects in the numerous places where I lived; they reflect my nourishment with the local cultures as well as the spiritual significance of the installation site. Six or seven process steps make up every project: from identifying the concept and suitable installations spaces, through the transformation of poor materials into poetic objects, to the final design and the production of books about the realization of the art work.
