APERTURA Sculpture

One of a series of sculptures realized specifically for a personal exhibition, entitled "INTRINSIC FREQUENCIES", held within and on the battlements of the castle of Santa Severina in Calabria, in southern Italy. The series is entitled “Germogli” which means “Seedlings, Buds, Shoots, or Germinations”, it captures the sense of the beginning of growth coupled with that of a change of entity, a bud becomes a flower, a nut sprouts and grows to become a tree. Furthermore I wanted to link this action of growth, of realization, to human attitudes and characteristics, so this series is entitled according to the nature of the expansion of the geometric form and the choice of the colour that is revealed within. The colour is the entity of the seed within the hard, in this case metallic, shell of the nut. The title of this specific work is “Apertura” which means “Openness” it carries connotations of broad-mindedness, altruism, generosity, and tolerance. For that the colour within is a warm solar yellow. For the exhibition at Santa Severina the “Seedlings” were displayed mounted on tall poles, painted blue celeste in order to be more invisible against the sky, so they could be seen emerging from behind the battlements, rising towards the sky. For practical transport the sculpture is mounted within it’s crate on a low steel “X” foot which may serve as its base. If however the collector desires to mount the work in a specific location or way I shall be willing to design the solution to it’s mounting.
