trajetórias em processo

guilherme bueno

Estela Sokol's sculptures excavate at once the spaces of modernity and those that are "post"-modern. They make an "anti-Brancusian" aggregation from the exterior space: instead of absorbing the outer edges into the surface, the light that her sculptures emanate is internal, objectual (by aggregating itself to the matter), but it also extends beyond its formal, physical limits. In that sense there is another sculptural duality – once conferred volume to the light, its non-material plasticity (although corporeal) assumes a solid antagonistic nature, but of a thickness equivalent to that of stone or acrylic.
