Kate Artwork - Limited Edition of 1

For Sonia Ceccotti (born in Tuscany in 1974) recycling means, immediately and simply, to refer to something already used. It deals with materials taken from everyday life, in particular from the packaging materials: corrugated cardboard (that acts as a support to the drawing), adhesive tape, isolation tape, barcodes. The artist became aware of this innovation almost accidentally. Leading off from her almost daily action, of packaging her canvases prior to their dispatch, and so the need of having the action itself become a work of art comes about naturally. Or more precisely to have it, literally, enter into the work of art. The artist loves to play on the ambiguity of a piloted casualness by inserting the subject in a way that certain body parts are literally eaten up, transported away by that 'disturbance" that is arriving. What is created then is a dialogue between presence and absence, between revealing and hiding internally the painting itself which calls upon, not only the handcrafted aspect of the 'making", but also the artist's own certain intimate necessity to convey her experience, her life.
