About The Artwork

“Trap” is a composition of 4 pop mosaics, which represent the uncomfortable shoe par excellence. The shoes are made with painted bubble wrap applied to the colored mortar on wooden and metal background. “Per essere belle bisogna soffrire la pelle”, “To be beautiful, you have to suffer from your skin”, my mother said to me ironically when I was a child. And I have always tried to wear comfortable shoes and clothes, to feel freer, to be able to walk a lot without sacrificing elegance, to change the male gaze and bring it to a way of being feminine in which I feel good, first of all with my body. I would like us women to learn to be more self-confident and less dependent on male / male-dominated judgment and approval.

I live in Ravenna Italy, in my studio-home. I started my career as a ceramist in 1983 after attending the two-year INIASA ceramic course in my city, working as a decorator. I characterized my production with majolica inspired by the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna and with the polychrome elaboration of a particular vine branch typical of the regional territory, marketing to private customers, shops, institutions by holding fairs and markets. Due to the need for large spaces, I moved my home and workshop to the countryside adjacent to the Po Delta Park for 15 years. Life in close contact with nature influenced the creation of landscape panels and bas-reliefs depicting the flora and fauna of the Delta , the Dunes of the sea and the abstract panels with carvings and reliefs. Curiosity about the use of materials other than ceramics led me to experiment with glass fusion, mosaic and papier-mâché. After my rural experience I lived and worked for several years in Dubai where I taught ceramic decoration at the Dubai International Art Center and at the Yadawey Ceramic Studio. I have exhibited at the Dubai Mall and for many years at the Alserkal Cultural Foundation, receiving prestigious commissions. Currently, driven by the search for symbolic and material lightness, I work with the experimental technique that I have called "Lightness Technique" with which I color the porcelain or liquid clays that I prepare myself, into recycled cardboard molds that I shape and assemble to create the conceived forms.
