This book is a collaborative work of printmaking. From conceptualization to execution, we worked together every step of the way. A dialogue about how creative processes have a similarity to the way nature works.
Inspired by the 4 elements of nature, we decided to trace the similarities of our own creative processes with the forms and movements of each element: fire as an explosive will to create, air where multiple ideas intertwine stormy until decanting into water as a deep sensitivity, and earth as the concrete space in which to root our practice. The hands of each one appear in this narrative, creating a weave that goes beyond the production of an image. This book is a log of efforts to collectivize artistic creation, it is a record of the dialogues of experimentation and the practice of printmaking, it is a way to share and collaborate in a work where there is space for all wills.

It becomes inevitable to open conversations about collaboration in art in our current context and to ask ourselves: what do we want to sow for the future in each of our practices? Are we in a context that favors the creation of collectives and that respects the times of dialogue and agreements? This publication reminds us of the need for our hands to create with other women, and also of the complexity of rowing in the political direction we believe to be correct. We share the vision and the outline in each of these pages, creating an ecosystem of agreements and disagreements, mistakes and surprises, technique and emotion. Above all, it is the record of a restlessness to continue to create together, and a desire to follow in the footsteps of the women who taught us to share, and to turn to nature and its counsel to connect with the physical and emotional territory that sustains our vision of the future.
