Assemblage of industrial silicone rubber and plastic materials, acrylic and spray paints - Single work
There are three loose threads emerging from a dense tangle, the focus of this composition. They are all marked in red, but there is no clue as to which is the real "bandolo" of the skein, the one capable of unraveling it.
As with choices in life, the way to deal with them ranges from impulsive courage, to reflection, to inaction. Time, however, almost always crumbles all problems in the end.
Although conceived for wall hanging, the work falls into the typology of sculpture, as much for its strong three-dimensionality as for the freedom of movement of the elements. The dark nets, which appear almost coplanar in the image, are instead strongly angled to each other, and the three "bandoli" hover in every direction.
It is the skein of tubes that performs the load-bearing function: although made of ductile material, through interweaving, contrasting and layering, it develops sufficient strength to hold the entire composition in tension.
