I’m an artistwho has been exhibiting regularly since the 90s.
Most of my work deals with science in a conceptual and playful way.
I change true scientific hypotheses into poetical, ironical or plastic possibilities.
This includes the BBB effect, where I investigate and record a self-created bacteriological accident that alters the relationship between closed inhabited spaces (mostly kitchens) and their inhabitants: the Burned By Blue collapse. But it further includes the remake of skeletons of imagined creatures or the Maps of an Earth-to-be.
I also have an intensive activity in drawing as a draughtswoman and as a scholar, as I teach drawing in the Faculty of Architecture, the University of Lisbon, where I am a Full Professor.
My interest in drawing relates not only to human-made drawings but also to accidental images, particularly those resulting from mechanical devices.
As an academic researcher, I am interested in the cognitive processes of the act of drawing and in its specificity as a mode of non-verbal communication.
