Onde Elles Moran (Where They Live) Guy Laramée

This project is inspired by two trips to a region of southern Brazil called Serra do Corvo Branco(Range of the White Raven). Aparados da Serra is a specific mountain pass that is part of a hundred mile long line of canyons, where the high plateau sinks down near to sea level – a 5000 foot drop over one mile, creating a dramatic topography of crevasses and needles, somewhat covered with the dense vegetation of the Matta Atalantica, the eco system with the highest biodiversity in the world. It is said that this fault line is actually the true topographical divide between Africa and South America.

The series is composed of nine book sculptures each of which have as a central feature a two sided work: the front and back covers painted, the inner pages carved. I found the books in various second hand bookstores, in Florianopolis – the capital of Santa Catarina. They are all tomes of the Classicos Jackson, a series of literature classics published in the ‘50s in Brazil. I Was greatly seduced by their rich, linen covers. The faded jade tones of the fabric inspired most of my palette for the paintings.
