"Fallen Women" at Wilton's Music Hall, London 2012

Fallen Women exhibited on Traces

During the Victorian age, characterized by a strong moral austerity,
discretion and permanence of traditions, the silent language of flowers was created
to communicate emotions difficult to express verbally in that context full of rules of
conduct. At the same time prostitution grew, a phenomenon which came to be known asThe Great Social Evil.
Fallen women was a term used to describe any women who had sexual intercourse
out of marriage, who broke the image of purity that was supposed to characterise
a woman.
My work starts from this contradiction, trying to create a symbolic
element which takes inspiration from the shape of nature to represent the fallen
woman, a complex personality with passion, pain and emotions.

The Printers Paradise: Imaginary landscapes

My subjectivity feeds on events. The most varied events: a riot, a sexual fiasco, a meeting, a memory, a rotten tooth. Reality, as it evolves, sweeps me with it. I'm struck by everything and, though not everything strikes me in the same way, I am always struck by the same basic contradiction: although I can always see how beautiful anything could be if only I can change it, in practically every case there is nothing I can really do. Everything is changed into something else in my imagination, then the dead weight of things changes it back into what it was in the first place. A bridge between imagination and reality must be built.

The Printers Paradise

Sonora in the Wick documents the development of “The Printers Paradise”, a project that focus on eco-friendly printmaking techniques together with a reflection upon the effects of our actions (both as persons and as society) on the planet in which we live. There is the aim of speculate and reinforce awareness on our responsibilities towards our habitat, and possibly create the premises for other self-initiated projects in this direction.

As an example of the passage from an industrial era to a more environment-friendly one, we are reflecting on the transformation of the area of Hackney Wick (London), a neighbourhood once characterised by the presence of several high polluting factories. Many of the premises were occupied by printers, publishers and print related industries, and for this reason the area was known as “The Printers Paradise”. Today most of the industrial production, included the print industries, have abandoned the quarter and in their place young creative industries have populated the same buildings. We find extremely inspiring and meaningful the fact that the same buildings once used as factories are today the house of artists and designers.

We believe that ideas and creativeness are a resource to introduce a new environment-friendly production and we want to promote the idea of a renewed “Printers Paradise”, with the introduction of innovative printing techniques that have dismissed their toxic aspects and that encourage the idea of humans living and working in harmony with nature, like in a paradise.

Open doors

The door is a symbol of border, of passage from a dimension to another one, from inside to outside.It can be open or closed.From the door to the house, an intimate space of identification, from house to city, extensive space of passage or stay where peoples, races and religions live together.Sometimes it's more difficult to open own doors.
In this work I wanted to represent the individual and his will to open. Houses, like individuals, are many and different from each other. All doors are open to signify the choice of every individual, they rapesent the human will to open to exchange.
For this reason the title of my work is "the open doors", it's my strong opinion that doors and borders can became place of exchange not of division.
