TNWMLC (2011) ................................................ A total of 48 pieces were showed, which included necklaces,
bracelets and wall hanging objects.
Together with the TNWMLC project to be presented at
the Fashion Rio runway shows, a collection of jewelry and
objects made from parts of a typewritting machine was also
developed. After being destroyed in hundreds of parts, the
pieces were used as components for contemporary jewelery,
together with antigue jewelery, such as pearls, brancelets
and chains.

The continuum project is a cross-scountry project within Brazil,
Greece, Portugal and Slovenia.
Based on concepts of infinity and
repetition, it mixes fashion, music,
motion images and photography
in a very inter-personal and
interactive shape. For more

CONTINUUM .....................................................
Resultado da colaboração entre criadores de diversas
áreas em vários países, o projeto Continuum propoe um
network infinitvo de projetos colaborativos de longa ou
curta duração, dentro das possíveis manifestações das
artes.
Em sua primeira edição, em Ljubljana, Eslovienia,
coleboradores incluíram designers gráficos e de moda,
vídeo-artistas, fotógrafos e músicos. O resultado foi uma
exposição de mixed-media na galeria SQUAT, na capital
eslovena, em julho de 2007.
Como peça central, o vestido-contínuo. Uma peça pronta,
porém não finalizada, indubtavelmente infinita. Amplo
ele contém palavras soltas, que devem ser conectadas
como em um jogo de ligue-os-pontos. O vestido espera ser
‘terminado’, ‘alterado’, ‘interagido’ e pode se comportar
de maneiras diferentes dependendo do humor de quem
o manipula. O vestido continuum se encontra hoje no
acervo da galeria Rhys Mendes, em São Paulo, tendo sido
exposto em coletiva de design em 2009.
