cognitive nature

The force of the things

Cognition is the mental process of knowing about oneself and the world. This include aspects such as perception, intuition, imagination, reasoning and memory. it does not follow a standard interpretation because it is subjective, each one has a personal form of analysis.

Cognitive Nature - the force of the things

The materials on in this project date back to the early days of Earth's history: Clay, raw stone, glass (silicon). By combing the stones, with clay or glass and exposing them to alternated forces such as high temperature and pressure it is possible to push the matter to its limits and explore its properties. The result is geological objects made made through a procedural fusion where boundaries are put in question. The work also accentuates the force and aliveness of inanimate beings. Only through interaction and transformation that life exists.
