Moreover, the artist will be the protagonist of a new session in the Incontri sensibili series – curated by Sylvain Bellenger and Laura Trisorio, in collaboration with the Tucci Russo Studio per l'Arte Contemporanea, which will feature her works in juxtaposition with Andrea Belvedere's painting entitled Ipomee e boules de neige (ca. 1680-1690) in the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte collection.
Her oeuvre stems from her direct contact with nature, where she finds the elements and signs of her expressive language: the seeds of various plants such as thistle, ivy and burdock, become the material used in her small-scale sculptures, or horsehair which is used to realize the texture of her three-dimensional “drawings”, subtle, all-round structures, impalpable installations which can fit in the palm of one’s hand or large-scale works. The artist is guided by the same internal geometry as her materials, in such a manner as to realize surprisingly light and fragile yet powerful and sturdy, fluctuating architectures which reveal her experimental interest for space together with her constant attention to the intimate, secret world of things. Surfaces and space are the primary themes of her drawings. Her linear structures “grow” from a point on the bottom of the page to the upper margins, and develop what she terms as “exiting outflow, from the interior to the exterior”. In appearance, they seem to be able to grow infinitely and take over the room.
