Vaso Formigueiro 13A
Domingos Tótora works from Maria da Fé, a small city in the mountains of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where he has spent decades developing a singular practice rooted in the landscape around him. His medium is recycled cardboard, broken down, re-formed, and shaped entirely by hand into sculptural vessels that carry the texture and weight of natural earth.
The Vaso Formigueiro 13A takes its cues from the termite mounds that rise from the Brazilian cerrado. These formations, built over years through collective labor, informed not only the vessel's silhouette but its surface. Natural pigments are applied by hand, and each piece is sun-dried, a process that ensures no two results are identical.
- Handcrafted from recycled cardboard in Maria da Fé, Brazil
- Colored with natural pigments and finished through sun-drying
- Each piece carries unique surface variation
- Part of Tótora's ongoing Formigueiro series for Gardeco
The work sits at the intersection of ecological practice and sculptural art. Tótora's process produces forms that feel geological in character, as though they have been shaped by time and pressure rather than a single maker's hand.
