JALLAPA ACCESSORIES COLLECTION 2010 My creative process is based on Observation and contemplation. The artworks are conceived following Nature Forms and Wisdom. I believe, I shall produce items that pertains to our remote ancestors. Articles once manufactured by ancient nomads. Simultaneously fine and rustic, fulfilling in nowadays individuals their longing for primordial objects. Since 2002, Ive been visiting Brazilian savannah highlands, the natural habitat of what is locally known as Capim Dourado (golden rushes). The Jalapao region is a silent desert crossed by a net of rivers, home to rare fauna and flora. In September, the pickers walk great distances collecting the precious plant in this heavenly environment. The seeds are left behind to guarantee next years harvest. After cleaning the fine rushes, skilled craftsmen execute exclusive design and the delicate golden sticks are transformed into exquisite works of art.
