Remenat (Catalan) (Mixed), "revoltillo" (Scrambled) in Spanish, is a dish which, in 

Catalunya, consists of a beaten egg cooked with vegetables or other ingredients, 

normally prawns or asparagus. It is delicious. Scrambled refers to the action of mixing 

the beaten egg with other ingredients in a pan,  normally using a wooden spoon Thought 

is frequently an amalgam of past ideas put through a spinner and rhythmically shaken 

around like a cocktail until a uniform and dense paste is made. This malleable product, 

rather like a cake mixture can be deformed pulling it out, rolling it around, adapting its 

shape to the commands of one’s hands or the tool which is being used on it.  In the 

piece Mixed, the contortion of the wood seeks to reproduce the plasticity of this slow 

heavy movement. Each piece lays itself on the next piece consecutively like a tongue of 

incandescent lava slowly advancing but with unstoppable inertia.  

 

 

Mixed ia a group of sculptures made out of carved wood. The wood is African cedar.

Remenat. 

Remenat, "revoltillo" en espanyol, és un plat de casa nostra que consisteix en ou batut i 

cuit amb verdures o altres ingredients. Normalment amb gambes i espàrrecs. Boníssim. 

Remenat fa referència a l'acció de barrejar amb una cullera (normalment de fusta) l'ou 

liquat amb els ingredients dins d'una paella. El pensament a vegades, és una amalgama 

d'idees passades per la centrifugadora i sacsejades a ritme de còktel fins a assolir una 

pasta uniforme i densa. Aquest producte maleable, com si fos la pasta per a un pastís es 

deforma estirant-se i arrontsant-se, adaptant la seva massa a la voluntat de les mans  o 

de l'estri que la treballen. A l'obra remenat la contorsió de la fusta cerca aquest 

moviment de plasticitat lenta i feixuga. Cada peça del conjunt s'abraona damunt la seva 

consecutiva com una llengua de lava incandescent que avança amb lentitud, amb inèrcia 

imparable.  

 

Remenat és un grup escultòric realitzat amb talla de fusta. La fusta és cedre africà.
