About The Artwork
The Elves use to come to the Earth walking through the space-time wormholes; a wormhole, or Einstein-Rosen bridge, is a hypothetical shortcut connecting two separate points inspace-time, in particular different universes or dimensions: ambivalent beings, the elves can help or afflict humans. The framework of the sculpture consists of a wooden skeleton around which the figure has been fashioned using paper-mache; the left arm only is made from a three-“digits” forked branch; the eyes show a white spiral iris made of sailing ropes and a green pupil made of hard-stones; several plastered tropical leaves have been fixed to the chin, arranged to look like a beard; the top of the head has been shaped as a horn; the figure is sitting in a squat on a large log; finally the whole sculpture has been painted and bright varnished. The sculptures of the Elves were thought by the artist after “visiting” on the Internet the ancient African Mursi and Surmatribes that live in the Lower Omo Valley and around Lake Turkana, whose tiny-sized painted bodies, beautifully decorated with head ornaments from leaves, branches, seedpods, fruit and so on, recall the elves of the north European folklore, the mythical creaturesmost beloved by the artistin her childhood.

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.
