Ana Rita Antonio is a problem solver par excellence, with a particular enthusiasm for redneck
repairs, quick fixes and problematic solutions.
As an artist, I like to embrace objects and situations of my everyday life as a working material.
Often,I give myself tasks to be applied in a range of familiar everyday challenges and casual
components. From my- imperfect- perspective of humorous procrastination, suggestion and
conceptual logic, I explore on thoughts and all kinds of responses to the same problem.
