Maria Nepomuceno’s first exhibition at Victoria Miro Venice features new works that draw connections between manufacturing processes in Venice and Brazil. During her residency in Venice, Nepomuceno collaborated with glass master Giancarlo Signoretto on Murano Island to create intricate glass pieces that are incorporated into her new sculptures. She was inspired by the way that each breath infuses molten glass with life, and how the tension between breath and glass captures the beauty and fragility of a given moment.
