Field Notes:

Beeswax stone hair and earth cluster into forms that feel both bodily and geological

Defining Moment:

The cave like installations where suspended bundles and mounds trace a slow corporeal architecture

Solange Pessoa

(

1961–

)

so-lanj pe-so-ah

Pessoa built a world where clay, wool, and organic matter gather into soft monumental forms.

Her works clarify the body-land connection as structural tenderness.

Structural Focus

Material as Condition

Material behavior determines outcome more than composition or image. Gravity, density, texture, or resistance guide form.

In Solange Pessoa’s work, this approach appears where organic matter accumulates presence.

Position

Material as Condition

In Solange Pessoa’s work, this approach appears where organic matter accumulates presence.

Material Intelligence

Material behavior actively determines structural decisions.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Gesture functions as structure through disciplined, repeatable action.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

line as spatial mesh

threshold as environment
