Complexity in simplicity

The idea for the 'woven' came while I was still a student of the late Samir Mattar in his course in Urca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I went away with some scraps and basic tools to my grandparents' farm, and worked with what I had at hand.

Complexity in simplicity

36 years later, the technique has evolved, but the spirit of simplicity is still strong in me. I aim to use one long ribbon or a few long ribbons of different widths. No need to use the silver scraps anymore 😅

Nevertheless, this technique I dedicated a large part of my life to evolve, also allows for very little wastage, as I got better and better in calculating how long the ribbons should be to start with.
