Your body - from the series Platonic Solids Print

From the series "Platonic Solids" "Platonic Solids" is my largest series. On some works there appear characters dancing in ritual, dynamic poses. They are beyond gravitation, in a fight, in motion. Other works depict figures siting thoughtfully, that is why, some works in that series are subtitled Contemplatio. That series was inspired by real Platonic solids, i.e., regular polyhedrons. I use to make drawings and all kinds of figures that enrich mathematical and philosophical papers of my husband. In this way I have learned that these polyhedrons constitute elements in Plato’s cosmology. Thus the tetrahedron is associated with fire, the cube with earth, the octahedron with air, the icosahedron with water. The mysterious dodecahedron, probably unknown to Plato, in Greek tradition, was associated with the Universe. About my technique These are works on paper. It is usually chalk overlay paper or textured paper. I prefer, however, the former, since it enables me to press linocuts one over another to make a graphic layered structure. I can also scratch it to add new textural effects. As for colors, I use acrylic paints, watercolors, crayons, inks.
