Ciclotrama 115

via Creative Boom

Whether inspired by human blood vessels, complicated computer systems or the entwining roots of trees, Janaina Mello Landini loves to craft networks of her own, using nylon rope in a rainbow of different colours.

In one particular artwork, Ciclotrama 115, the Sao Paulo artist begins her installation on a giant canvas, weaving the thinnest of threads in red, blue, green and grey onto its surface before increasing the thickness of the material to eventually draw it away from the hanging artwork to end in four separate piles of heavy rope.

Born in São Gotardo, Janaina graduated in Architecture in 1999 and studied Fine Arts from 2004 to 2007, both at the Federal University of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Her work encompasses her knowledge of architecture, physics and mathematics and her observations about time, and her installations vary from object to public space.
