RESUMO
In the process of describing and setting down the theoretical bases of my work as an artist, I have brought together a series of notes from classes, excerpts from readings and poems, and "definitions" of concepts. I have also collected a number of images, bases for reflections and associations, entries in notebooks, and the like. The first impression is one of confusion and chaos, disorder, too much information, coming and going, repetitions and inconsistencies, as well as perceptions and obvious conclusions. But these conclusions had not been so obvious until that point, and included licit (or illicit?) appropriations that have been a precious and constant source of consultation and reference for continued study and production. The design of this notebook (which is intended as a substitute for a master s thesis) was born of the desire, insofar as is possible, to put at least part of this material in order and explicitly into dialogue with practical production. But how? In what order? Conceptually things began taking shape for me due to the structure of a basic working plan in a studio, suggested by Professor Evandro Carlos Jardim (the dialogue between poetics and technical through praxis). My option for moving ahead, was then to tell about this experience and attempt to transmit through this structure what I had been able to apprehend and develop, especially on the basis of his own teaching (naturally blended with the specific qualities of my own heart and intelligence). I thus proceeded to organize and express the genesis and meaning of my research in visual poetics, consisting of the drawings and engravings that make up the exhibit and the edition of this notebook. The text retains something of the fragmentary nature of the notes themselves, but there is also an insinuation of relationships and connections of meaning that I establish among the questions of various orders that permeate the work. The drawings and engravings are seen from different perspectives in order to explore the possibilities of experience and representation of the image expressed in the title of the project "Horizonte 360º [Horizon 360º]." They tell of borders and of the surrounding landscape (understood as everything that shapes the outside world at any given moment of my perception, be it the natural, artificial or human environment), and take into consideration their various levels of meaning
