FERNANDO BY NATE BERKUS
- "He was audacious and complicated and spontaneous and sophisticated and charismatic and demanding and graceful and volatile and extravagant and occasionally impossible. And when he walked into the room, he pretty much owned it." Excerpt from Nate Berkus' book "The Things That Matter".

WHAT IS A HAND WOVEN PHOTOGRAPH?
Our Woven Photographs, Photo Wovens or Photo Weaves, as they are called, are made from two identical Giclee prints. The prints are cut in very thin strips and weaved back together adding complexity, texture, drama and relief, inviting the viewer into a memorable experience. Each piece, from cutting to weaving is completely hand made by Marcelo, following Fernando's vision. Differences in strip width, alignment and traces of my weaving touch are expected and desirable. Truly a one-of-a-kind artwork. See one in detail here.

"I want to keep saying Fernando's name out loud because I think it's important for everybody who's lost their life for their life to be more than that moment of death. And his work and his art will live on for everybody who he filmed; for everybody whose life he touched. But we get to see him through his work forever."
Sandra Cox, Sag HarborThese woven photos look amazing but most importantly, they make me feel like I am part of something special.
