"Composed fundamentally of lines and intersections, her sculptures organise and give movement to the space, while defining and framing the void. In a way she uses the void as an active element, a material to model in space.""Shunning the soldering process-in which she depended on assistants-she concieved a system of assembling metal rods whihc gave her total independance in her production"
"The lines, nets and meshes take her sculptures towards an evolution in the shape of geometrical structures that gradually give way to organic forms.
Went to an exhibition of hers here in BCN before Christmas and it was really interesting. Well worth checking out!!
