NEW MEMBER: ARIEL LAVIAN
Tell us about your evolution as an artist.
My way of working has changed a lot in recent years. I am more attentive to the material than before, I have a lot of patience for the processes. I guess it's partly because of my research on patinas, which requires a lot of patience, and my work with copper, which taught me to listen to material.
