Catalogue Note
Le mie superfici in tela o laminato plastico od altro materiale, plasticamente smaterializzate dal colore, in quanto elemento di composizione, tendono a modularsi, accettano la terza dimensione che le rende percettibili; la luce è ormai strumento di questa percezione: vi sono abbandonate nella sua accidentalità, forma ed intensità continegenti.
My surfaces in canvas or plastic laminate or other materials, plastically dematerialized by the lack of color in so far as this is an element of composition, tend to modulate themselves and accept the third dimension which makes them perceptible. By now light is an instrument of this perception: they're abandoned there in contingent accidentality, form and intensity.
