About The Artwork
In cultures worldwide, the shaman is a religious practitioner who acts as an intermediary between the natural and supernatural worlds. The shaman, after entering a trance, sends his soul forth and travels to the supernatural realm. The structure of the sculpture consists of a wooden branch sticking out from a concrete base; the figure of the shaman’s flying soul has been fashioned using papermache and finally the whole sculpture has been painted and bright varnished. Hands and armsof the shaman are transforming into wings, a metamorphosis the artist often dreams of: toleave the body and escape from daily life’s monotony and harshness to take refuge in another more spiritual world; something she tries to do by creating her works of art.

My name is Luciana Chiusole, but I have also an artist’s name, Bezec, that was my father’s nickname. I have always been seeing in Nature, particularly in the logs, roots and branches of cut off trees, peculiar “forms” – often originated from my reading and traveling experiences – that I try to bring about making up the roots with clay, paper mache and other, to get the shape I have “seen” and eventually painting and varnishing it. Among my recent works, the “Mannequins” series has evolved from this approach, originated from reading about the ancient mythologies when I started “dreaming” of some roots and branches, I had found somewhere, as the distinctive features of a specific “God” or “Goddess” I had learned of.
