"Stelle di mare" installation Project idea and philosophical background; I have associated duality of life and death with blackness and transparency, lead and hand-made paper. In “Stelle di mare” I am using highly contrasting materials, some heavy, others translucent. By this contrast I explore the poetic mystery of not commonly used materials. They express the mystery of life hidden in dead objects and they have in common that they are very light, whitish or gray. They look fragile and ephemeral as beauty in nature. Installation and Materials; The installation consists of 25 stars composed of 6 modules parts, sculptures of hand-made paper transformed by lead and paraffin. On the wall two “Half Moons” (267x47x2cm) indigo colored textile/paper work. “Stelle di mare” was exposed on a white painted floor 4x7m with a white wall behind. The lightness of the room was well suited for these transparent sculptures.

Netherlands
Born in 1949 San Sebastian, Spain, lives in Netherlands and France - Large Conceptual Installations - New projects each year - Light & heavy materials - Unconventional techniques developing works passing over the borders of sculpture and painting - Project books with special layouts - Active in many countries. My esthetic standpoint is based on the duality between life and death. Therefore in each of my projects I choose materials out of two types, either light translucent or heavy opaque ones. Among the first ones are light textile materials, as gauze, rice paper, tracing paper, organza, the second type includes lead, sea salt, wood, charcoal, porcelain and stone. I have developed my projects in the numerous places where I lived; they reflect my nourishment with the local cultures as well as the spiritual significance of the installation site. Six or seven process steps make up every project: from identifying the concept and suitable installations spaces, through the transformation of poor materials into poetic objects, to the final design and the production of books about the realization of the art work.
