A imago materna através do papel

Abstract

By thinking the paper as the input that allowed the persistence of personal and humanity's history, the present research aims to understand how the images that were responsible for the identification of the mother for her daughter, photographs, letters, documents, and objects that have the paper as the point of origin and divergence, may return to him, refurbished to the paper manufactured from rags. Having the parallel between the invention of paper, the discovery of writing, until the development of the graphic means as a guide, the research seeks to understand these images by Carl Jung theory and his concept of maternal archetype. Combining the traditional manufacture of the paper, digital engraving and monotype, working with the paper beyond its traditional support function, but as living and integrant part of the work.
