TEAS DE ALIVIO

 

This work starts whith memories that I have about the dramatic disappearance of my grandfather. I never met him, but he was always present thanks to a photograph of her marriage to my grandmother and the clothes she wore the rest of his life. Most times was in deep mourning, until his later years, that changed for  relief clothing, often with small white spots or gray. So grow up the idea. I use the pictures of missing sailors that leave me their family, made ​​a hole spacing on the top of a wooden box. Inside introduce the black cloth and put them in the sun for several months. Slowly, the black dye tissue degrades and it`s drawing lunar motif, relief, the portrait.
