DRAGON STONE

This sculpture was created by covering a block of travertine, the first part of a renovated urban pavement; it is part of the "URBAN STONES" series and is a monumental domestic urban project begun in 2014 and still in progress. The project consists of the more or less daily collection of cobblestones and other stones or their fragments, that is, natural stones shaped for street furniture, abandoned or naturally expelled from the ground and the street and left unused. The collection and appropriation, documented photographically, is followed by the covering, with textile materials of various origins, hand-sewn to fit. The photograph of the resulting sculpture is the further linguistic translation of the creative process.
This work is part of the broader Extender System project, in which the metaphor of experience literally unfolds through the warps and wefts of found, discarded, salvaged, or dematerialized fibers prior to reuse. In my artistic research, I follow the ideological and political path of the Neo-Avant-Garde, renewing it with new urban and global demands, exploring the languages ​​offered by contemporary art: photography, weaving, land art, painting, performance, video and statement, music, relational and educational art. Through photography, as through other media, I seek a subtle, still classical, archetypal balance that brings me back to the primordial, with a life-giving effect.

The focus is on the environment, on the hyperreality of everyday life, on the awareness or unconsciousness of human action, mediated by language and relationships, on Transformation poised between the dualisms of nature/artifice, craftsmanship/technology, tradition and innovation. Here too, the work is an ongoing observatory in which everyday objects, sometimes made of textile material, become the focal point of biographical meditation, a minimal relic of an ephemeral archaeology of the present.
