... Murmurs of life crystallized in eternal matter. Menichelli is an obsessive picker, often walking with an eye to the ground; the attraction is a strong force like a magnet - perceives, selects, collects, elaborates, manipulates, stratifies. Each work requires a long and meticulous process, that conveys a single reality into the rebirth of the whole. One block consists of many heterogeneously harmonized elements. He lays the leaves one at a time, one above the other, side by side, one around the other, one against another, without smothering any of them, and he makes them dialogue through a ritual and patient gesture. Twigs, buds and small breaths are added and overlapped in a delicate synergy establishing amazing three-dimensional structures, graceful and unbreakable beds at once. A development constituted of individuality dipped in varnish, he let them dry, re-shaped them, then dipped them in color. A bright renewed vitality without losing anything of their history. ... (from Into the Woods, text by Gaia Conti). _ ... Soffi di vita cristallizzati in materia eterna. Menichelli è un raccoglitore compulsivo, cammina spesso con lo sguardo rivolto al suolo; l’attrazione è una forza intensa come un magnete – scorge, seleziona, colleziona, rielabora, manipola, stratifica. Ogni opera richiede un processo lungo e minuzioso che da una singola realtà convoglia verso la rinascita dell’insieme. Un blocco composto da molti elementi eterogeneamente omogenei. Le foglie, le posa una per volta, una al di sopra dell’altra, una in fianco all’altra, una intorno all’altra, una contro l’altra, senza mai soffocarne nessuna, e le fa dialogare attraverso un gesto rituale e paziente. Ramoscelli, gemme, piccoli aliti si aggiungono e si sovrappongono in delicata simbiosi fondando delle stupefacenti strutture tridimensionali, dei letti leggiadri e indistruttibili allo stesso tempo. Uno sviluppo composto di individualità immerse nello smalto, fatte asciugare, ri-plasmate, immerse successivamente nel colore. Brillanti di rinnovata vitalità senza perdere nulla della loro storia. ... (tratto da Into the Woods, testo di Gaia Conti)
