Motherhood feels like the Caryatides’s symbolic contradictory representations

a blessed dance and a never ending support act.

I see the Crypt as a metaphor for a female organ, one that cocoons and protects its visitors while also limiting access to light and the outside world. There are clear parallels between this hidden, confined space and the act of motherhood and caregiving—both nurturing and sheltering while maintaining a sense of enclosure and restriction.

During  my residency, I will explore the architectural corners of the space and how they limit and direct light and movement.

Using the dark quality of the Crypt and its humidity I will be working with porcelain, photography and drawing.

With the porcelain I will make tiles which in a wet state will react to the dampness environment curving and distorting, once the residency is finished I will fire them and they will become the support in which I will print the results of the images created by the pinhole cameras installed in or out of the building.

I will use camera-less and digital photography to record the changes using long exposure techniques which produce drawing-like marks on the photographic paper.

Pinhole cameras will be used to reveal any light changes produced by the movement of my own body and the public’s and outside, which I will later merge in the final pieces to dissolve the public space from the private.

During my stay a 2’ video will be projected on one wall, which I will try to capture in a drawing.
