- What does Visual Poetry mean to you?
The expression of the word to the sign.
2 - Who were and/or are your sources of inspiration, your
models (either poets or artistic movements) in this artistic medium?
My source of inspiration is the process of nature.
3 - Why did you choose to create, or why do you enjoy
creating, Visual Poetry as one of your artistic expressions?
There are many interesting poets: John Cage, Augusto de Campos, Manoel de Seabra,
Gabriel Guash, E. M. de Melo e Castro, Arnaldo Antunes, Falves Silva, Moacy
Cirne among others, but models I don't have. As far as the artistic movements
that were most important to me, they were: Dada and Futurism.
4 - When did you first adopt Visual Poetry as a mode of
expression?
What I know how to do: capture the sign in process. It wasn't I who adopted
visual poetry, it adopted me.
