EDUARDO SANTOS: THE SEDIMENT OF MEMORY
The sediment of memory, Santos credits his relationshipt to cisceral, highly textured materials to a childhood spent in the north of Brazil, in a terrain "where the river meets the ocean" and experiences with his grandfather, an indigneous Amazonian potter, Santos would mimic in the clay tof the river's edge. The humility of simple materials; a conflation of the natural and the 'found'; the tactility of hand-made and rough-hewn things and, ulitmately primal landscapes, all play a role in the artist's work.
