- About my artwork
- My artistic works, developed from the 1998 till now, are connected to the topic of the “Identity”.
Through the execution of tracings of my body I obtain a print that it’s similar to the “Skin”.
These total tracings of my body are made again cyclically, with the intention to record the mutations, the variations of the time in my body.
The body, that come out from these tracings, changes in works that are Body – Metaphor, Body – Symbol, in which it’s never the will to propose a Body – Meat, with its true volumes, dimensions, reality.
With the development of my search, I developed two fundamental elements in my own work, that is, the element of the body like Skin and the element of the body like Mask.
Through this elaboration Practical – Conceptual, the topic of the “Identity” is analysed in various ways, from different point of views.
In this way the works are conceived taking into consideration the aspects connected to physical, individual, collective elements, as well as, those of the memory whether personal or collective and the elements psychological too.
I mention of the text - interview, of the journalist Claudia Barana. This resume very well my work.
…“Emptied, without bones or muscles, the bodies multiplied and become the ground where the artist’s experience took root.
They are latex casts, the images of the body that repeats itself, shows itself, and splits. It is only a thin porous membrane through which we perceive and are perceived. Skin – bodies that demonstrate evolution and aging, that represent the limit, the diaphragm that separates us from others but at the same time allows us to communicate with them. To adapt to Wilma kun’s artistic reserch, the skins are compressed to fit into a transparent box or expanded to become a sculpture, a curtain, a carpet, a cushion or simply a mask. The brasilian artist makes a series of casts of her own body using an artisan method: she waits patiently for the latex and rubber wrapped around her body to take shape and make the invisible become visible. Year after year she sees her figure change. A process that leads the artist to think about her own identity and compare it with that of the viewers. “My body becomes an icon that allows me to talk about identity, mine and that of others. I am questioning the way we perceive ourselves and others. The representation we
have of ourselves.”…
Currently I work on two issues tied to the identity.The first issue is developed through the construction of bodies/dolls on which I saw part of my body derived from print in latex of my body.
The other issue is developed through the recovery of the memory, using photographies elaborated with various techniques.
