Title:’In the woods’
Wooden table and chair, wax, pigment, bird’s feathers ,fur, glass, poem fragment

A fragment of a madrigal by Frederico García Lorca: La Mariposa, was the link between the various elements of the installation. Together, they constituted ‘In the Woods’, evoking a magical, melancholy feel both inside and outside, in the trees: that of an imaginary, peculiar hermit, deep in the woods…

 Inscription on the ten ‘inkpots’: :
'You me alujé de tu lado  queriéndote sin saberlo. No sé cómo son tus ojos, tus manos ni tus caballos.
 Soló me queda en la frente la mariposa de beso. ( Los relojes llevan ma misma cadencia y la noches tienen las mismas estrellas)'
Translation:                                                                                                                                
‘I went away from your side, in love without knowing it. Now I don’t know how your eyes look, nor your hands, nor your hair.                                                                                                
I know only the butterfly of your kiss on my forehead. (All clocks keep the same cadence, all nights have the same stars)
Fragment from ‘Madrigal’ by Frederico García Lorca
