Abstract

eduardo taborda Translated by Jesús Gutiérrez In the figures that I channel here, I have sought to convey a sense of the autochoreography of form: an unrestrained path conscious of it- self as both movement and shape, or as a trace that dances as it rhythmically unites intuition and intellect.
