ALP (Anna Livia Plurabelle) is a drawing from Mad Marginal Charts, a series of drawings on wallpaper addressing complexities and crossovers in the different research paths followed by the artist. Its title refers to the eponymous heroine from James Joyce’s novel Finnegans Wake, and the written names are all the names used in the book to refer to that character, which is not exactly a character, but a principle – the principle of femininity as creation and destruction, the mother, the wife, the lover, the avenger, the she-warrior, the she-pirate, and so on.
