Behind the Scene: Humberto de Mata
Working with clay and paper pulp has been a very liberating process for me. The endless possibilities of construction in these materials have evolved my body of work into a more diverse production.
The studio process has been a way of working that I feel really comfortable with. In it, I have learned to deal more freely with the materials and, through these relationships, to build ideas in a more intuitive way, accepting to make decisions during the process and allowing myself to follow the paths indicated by the act of doing. This process has a very interesting inertia, where over time the solutions build a repertoire that forms a guiding thread of the production.
With this process, my desire is to evolve the work in a matter of power. Trying to master this process of creating a physical object and, at the same time, learning from the beauty of the small imperfections that are natural when dealing with such delicate materials, with their own natural behavior.
This path crossed with the questioning of the symbolism of objects and became the reason for my interest in designing/building them.
