Title: | Graticule | Authors: | DA CONCEICAO CORREIA DOMINGUES, Patricia | Advisors: | Gil Ulldemolins, Maria | Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | Passage Journal | Source: | Passage, 9 (1) , p. 9-36 | Abstract: | My practice traces lines between geological phenomena and transatlantic history. As a jewellery artist and a stone cutter, I focus on the properties and qualities of materials but also on their respective histories and the environments we cohabit with them. The fractures and the cuts I consciously create in materials are performative gestures and intersections of the materials’ stories and my own in the past and the present. In this paper, while exploring a personal, fragmentary approach towards creative writing and revisiting family lineages, I will use an autoethnographic methodology to divagate between landscapes of union and disunion. I will embark on an interweaving of lines—my own, those of the material and of history—as a way of expanding my practice into a broader scene of ideas and events. From the boats docking in Lisbon during the fifteenth-century Portuguese colonial period, to the exploration of gemstones at German markets and my grandfather’s abandoned notebooks, how do the lines of history translate into a sequence of performative gestures? Where does the past end and the present begin? | Keywords: | Lines;Gemstones;Fracturing Practice;Intimate Writing;Landscapes | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/39423 | e-ISSN: | 2795-6644 | Category: | A2 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
