There's so much and yet so little to say about artist Francisca Silva. So much because her work is a shrill, diverse and beguiling conglomerate of poetry, sculpture, painting, drawing, textiles and tattoos. So little because she doesn't like talking about herself or her work. I could talk sentimental nonsense, she says, but I don't want to kill my art with words.
25 Memoranden is Silva's first artist's book. Inspired by a memo notepad, it is in essence a love song without flourishes. Or, to use her mantra, it's simply poetry. She insists on calling these word combinations not sayings or slogans, but poetry, as though conjuring up in that one word the most precious thing in the world--in the form of 25 memoranda, poetic notes on love. Silva's poetry is dead serious, though not humorless. Sexy, maybe; mischievous, very probably. In 25 Memoranden, Silva subtly weaves her way in English, German and Spanish through the stormy seas of an ambivalent soul in the throes of courting, conquest and consummation. The New York Public Library recently purchased a copy of 25 Memoranden for their permanent collection.
