Lost
in the forest
to
walk - to draw
"In
2002, Alicia Herrero created the piece titled El Bosque (Forest). It consisted
of a notebook with blank pages. Beginning with the action of drawing and
re-drawing the same vignette of a forest with continual, progressive movement
that adds, repeats and differs strokes, Herrero converts its pages into
spaces with an infinite number of ways to follow, confuse with one another
and lose. The book-forest. In the end, perhaps all books are nothing more
than forests of words."
