TURN TO WOOD
Turn to Wood: An alchemy of industrial cardboard. An alchemy of found cardboard.
Year: 2018
Location: Napoli, Campania, Italy
Role: Concept, Digital Fabrication & Craft
Type: Sculpture
Status: Completed
This work is part of a series of sculptural studies on the movement of eternal return. The selected material that gives voice to the entire piece is cardboard.
Born from a deep memory of earth, tree, and paper, the material is subjected to a rigorous sculptural process. During the process, it seems to reverse its own chemistry. What was once industrial begins to remember the grain of the old tree.
The final work, its form, is itself the search for an immutable essence, an essence that defines distance. The objects in this series inhabit space in an abandoned and distant way, projecting a sense of profound and irrecoverable
isolation.
