Miguel Branco presents small sculptures constructed by a layered process in which he builds up his shape from a skeletal wire armature. Upon this he attaches carved wood pieces and, finally, an outer layer of pigmented femo ( a kind of low-fire modeling clay.) Branco’s objects, in their reduced form, appear as perfect thoughts. They can be read as symbols or archetypes, and viewers feel encouraged by the works’ simplicity and accuracy to directly grasp their meaning.
