Self-taught fiber artistJoao Bruno Videiraexplores the innumerable creative possibilities of woolen yarn in his creative practice.
He creates a variety of objects, big and small, by interlocking colorful threads in harmonious geometric patterns.
I grew up surrounded by wool.
And the wool I use is exactly the same, Videira tells My Modern Met.
Its characteristicsresistance, malleability, texture, and colormake it special and distinct from other natural fibers.
And my work reflects this difference.
Nature and its multitude of forms obviously play a crucial role in terms of creative stimulus, he continues.
This inspiration is most notable in the wool stones and series of trees and roots.
In addition, geometry is something that seduces me and can be seen in all of my work.
