Statement
Upon opting for the modular structure, Mazeredo creates, for starters, an internal dialogue within each of her work pieces, based in the formal relationship between the used modules. This happens because the module synthesized by the artist, depending on how it is repeated in the space, transcends its basic meaning of mouth and begins suggesting, through the formal game and symbolic language, many other possibilities, such as butterflies (two juxtaposed modules resembles wings), stars (formed by the angles between the modules), totems (suggested by the vertical construction of the modules), locks (suggested by the inner space between the modules), just to mention a few possibilities of formal reading.
Mazeredo has reinforced in her sculptures the dimension of art as a constructive game, serial and modular, seeking not a passive contemplation of the visitor, but its active participation, the interaction of people with her art, as wholly as possible.
