I can See the Sea
Today, she is considered a site specific installation artist and a sculptor working primarily with stainless steel and pliable materials such as sheets of plastic.
Since she is Brazilian and not even the English version of Wikipedia has information on her, I have had some extra researching to do. There is a very cool video of her work with her narration on You Tube. But it is in Spanish with no subtitling. It's a visually amazing video all the same. If Spanish is one of the languages you know (or even if it isn't) you might want to check that out. There is also an interview about her on Artslant and the Gallery Raquel Arnaud site has an English version of it's page about Freitas and great photos of her works.
Rather than write about her I thought it would be fun to let her work speak for itself - arranged from the 70's to today. I love the forms and color and rhythm and organic shapes in her work today and the way it interacts with the light and flow of the environment and space the works occupy.
