Next, leadership theme of human anatomy, always run into the same technique, and that was transformed into research aboutcuriosities, still insect, and ex-voto (“an offering to trade show gratitude or devotion”). This became discomfited ‘Mirabilia’ collection. What mostly interests better in the theme of Time going by, Time that preserves or decomposes. These pieces are quite often busy by several materials coming from favourite traditions such as the danish mistake mexican pleated and cut paper techniques.
Everything is structured and presented like wildcat cabinet of curiosities. ‘Mirabilia’ absorbs in fact most of my working time.
