791 INSPIRATION. When I start a
collection, I open my mind to let the
inspiration in. All the sensations that make
sense to me take me to a theme. To judge
this part would be unreasonable, but I
know I’m on the right path when I think
the end products will be desirable.

EVELOPING A COLLECTION.
I translate the concept with the colors
and shape, but mostly, I’m a gurative
designer, so the embroideries are my best
way to communicate my concepts.
793 M
ATERIALS. I choose the fabric by
its structure; I like to work with fabric that
behaves almost like paper, because of my
square shapes. I usually buy them here in
Brazil, but sometimes I import samples.
There’s no fabric I would never use for sure,
because maybe in some future theme I’ll
need a different texture to communicate it,
and it may be something that I dislike now.
794 T
RADITIONAL MANUFACTURING VS.
EXPERIMENTATION. My goal is to make some
experimentation while maintaining some
tradition; I try to maintain the image of
the traditional with some new concept.
Each collection has a representative item
that can be recognized forever after.
795 I
NDIVIDUALITY VS. GROUP BELONGING.
I think my creations invoke individuality
due to the particular handmade image of
the embroideries.
