She begins her work, surpasses everybody in her eager desire of sharing the vast horizons. She teaches in a brilliant way. She adopts the name Gego, the weaver of warping, in which man together with a new sense of space, discovers that he can no longer be left out of the work. I remember an unusual work, maybe the only one of its kind in Gego's career, but extremely opportune to begin the analysis of her work. Making it Appear in Space Line is the essential element in Gego's work, as much in drawing and graphic work as in sculpture and in her necessity to expand, in ambientation and in large-scale works.
Solutions are extremely varied.
It may also be strips of metallic parallel lines, whose development in space has a strong directional emphasis, sometimes annulling the conventional sense of place. This investigation constitutes the basis for the large works, works which are so special as the large column ten meters high, realized for a bank in Caracas, in which the structure of square planes has its own dynamics, which include the visual effects of the movement and transmutation. To the parallel lines system follows others of vertical lines, with more resolution freedom. Together with the work she realized before in the area of drawings and etchings, now her works have no need for support and convert themselves in a magnificent version of structures in the air, the Reticulareas and Dibujos sin Papel. When the structural systems leave the stable forms to forge a fabulous sequence of sculptures, metallic and dark in general, which seems to change on the invisible support of space, when the fixed support is left behind, the liberated flexible structures arise.
