ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Porcelain paper clay bowl coloured in bulk with oxides. No glaze, no engobes. Handcrafted on a balloon. Single fired at 1260 Celsius, oxidation. Crafted in 2018. Measures: h= 10 cm (3.9 in.) diameter=20 cm (7.9 in.) weight= 200 gr (7.16 oz.) My work concerns fragility and lightness. It's a non-conceptual approach that investigates the chances of the material, led to its extreme consequences. In my porcelain bowls, I try to make the internal surface meet with the external one, cutting down the thickness of the bowl the most possible, in order to create something new and unique. The “Life” series talks about a joyful re-creation that alludes to the natural elements, in particular water and air. The light blue colors inside (very thin layers of paper clay colored in bulk with oxides) are mixed on a balloon and then covered with other layers in a darker blue. The external surface consists of brushwork that creates a scrub texture that ends with a touch of white paper clay. The extreme lightness of this work wants to remember the fragility and the extreme beauty of Creation as well.

M'I lumina is an exclusive Porcelain Paper Clay brand dedicated to contemporary ceramic. M'I lumina came to life at the beginning of 2015, from the eclectic mind of Luciana Grazia Menegazzi. Born in Milan in 1961, she graduated in Architecture in 1988. During her career she has also had experiences as a Teaching Assistant at Politecnico of Milan, and took part in various design competitions. Pottery expert, collector of italian majolicas from the '30s and '40s, design and handmade enthusiastic, she was charmed by paper clay, a modern but ancient material, made of clay and paper cellulose. She experimented with “bone china” porcelain in particular, whose elegance, resistance and transparency she really appreciate. So she created M'I lumina, a Milan-based hand-made brand, whose mission is to create exclusive lamps and furnishings, with an high handcraft content and an absolutely original design. A M'I lumina piece of design is way more than its function or a trend, it is an iconic and evocative creation. The paper clay itself, the use of recycled paper and the organic forms, inspired by the vegetal and animal world, make the M'I lumina creations the protagonists of a refined but eco-friendly idea of interior design.
