This is how I feel at the moment with my blog. I’m sorry if the continuity hasn’t been kept and I jump between blogs rescuing thoughts, results, plans from previous months!

Mercedes Ferrari
Violence, gender politics, sexuality and maternity are recurring themes. Her work, composed of sculpture, drawing, video and performance is suggestive and provocative with cartoon and stage-like arrangements liberally strewn with sexual content and strong emotional narratives. She finds inspiration in the tragicomedy of daily life, the absurd, childhood memories and folk culture. Her work is informed by the theories and aesthetics of the carnival and the grotesque by Mikhail Bakhtin, the philosophical ideas on human existence behind the Theatre of the Absurd and the improvisation and experimentation in the Comedia dell'Arte
