Cosmoses and microcosmoses 

It all started with some left overs of acrylic wool and a knitting mill. Initially I made round elements, each one representing  a small microcosmos, that would become a bigger cosmos sewn together. This work was inspired by the cultivated lands of the region where I live in Italy, Friuli Venezia Giulia. Then, it also became the inspiration for a series of paintings using small used boxes I tend to accumulate.

This work reflects the relationship between individuals and what surrounds them, like other indivuduals, society, nature, etc. We are a complete microcosmos by ourselves, but we also become a macrocosmos when we take part of a group. With our contribution we can create beauty, life and energy.

The round elements were so beautiful that I started to pile them up. Playing with them I created many scenes where the main effect was of a person or persons trying to find balance on the top of a high pedestal.
