IN MEDITATION

This series of chains was born out of the need to overcome my own powerlessness. It was a reaction to the political and cultural stagnation I perceived around me.

"Ho visto un angelo nel marmo e ho scolpito fino a liberarlo.“

I saw an angel in the marble and carved until I freed him

Michelangelo Buonarroti

 

These words inspired me to trace the living in the wood. I took a branch.

Guided by the wood, I formed one chain link after the other, one springing from the other.

In a lengthy, meditative work, movement came into the rigid branch.

As ornaments, embracing the body, or as sculptures, the chains are symbols for both, restriction and liberation.
