Screen printing on paper. ignature and date at the bottom right; serial number N.10/100 at the bottom left; dedication to personam in the center. A Portuguese poetess, born in Maputo but moved to Portugal at the age of 11, Salette Tavares travelled to Europe and the USA to study aesthetics. He favoured forms of experimental poetry, creating morphosyntactic and orthographic deformations and constructing with irony numerous poems drawn. In the work presented the word Aranha, along with its derivatives and abbreviations, is repeated to draw the figure of the spider it evokes; particular is the use of the repetition of the letter R within the word in multiplied number, triple and even quadruple, incorrect spelling.
