Propagation of seismic waves.
Julia Masvernat

Your own body a seismograph
that captures beauty like nobody else
of the underground swell,
the patient construction
of the fault.
Claudia massin
Disorder is essential for "creation",
while it is defined by a certain "order".
Paul Valery
I work from the marks and rubble, the imprint of what has been consumed. I look for those places with fuzzy edges, where the waters mix: the sweet sea. I test a deformed and jumbled geometry, which arises from the observation of urban “geographical accidents”: melted pavements, tangled cables, twisted iron and others.
Start point:
It is nothing new, they are remnants of demolition.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Art is contained in that gaze, a previous image that comes into focus when Julia finds the remains that match her and translates them for us.
That look that, like a sharp pencil, like a scalpel, reviews and replicates the shapes of those residues.
His work keeps time silent, the time it took for those pieces that were part of a construction, of a destruction and that are scattered, waiting for their sublimation, dispossession-work; brake - delight.
Favorite Situation of Art.
Alchemy.
Julia refers to seismography, she likes the idea of being the seismograph, that her work is done,
be a medium of those traces.
Traces,
raw material of his art.
Maybe as original support.
The definitive support comes next: paper, wood and that sharp look - it's already a scalpel or a saw.
Color - it happens.
And so and everything, with that imperious explanation of the discovery of the motive and the mediumistic and laborious process presented and present, thanks to his art this secret - clandestine scoop appears.
