Surreal small sculpture: 'Colony XII'

2021

About the Item

I construct sculptures based on the architecture of bird, animal, and insect homes. Viscerally attracted by their nostalgia, ware, and uselessness, I mimic their design, form and structure patterns using locally gathered objects, trash, and recycled materials. My aesthetics are based on the function and utility of the found objects. I repurpose their form. The suitcases represent the transitory nature of home by imitating the behavior of birds, and connecting this to my childhood domestic reality of living in many places and not feeling rooted. Growing up this way, I found solace in nature. Building nests is a ritual expression: an attempt at stability and shelter replacing the transience of my childhood home. Art is informed by personal narratives. I create art as a mechanism to express or give voice to the human condition. I view art making as a holistic process and vehicle of healing.

  • Fiber Sculpture: 'IMAGINATION'
    By Federica Patera and Andrea Sbra Pereg
    Located in New York, NY
    Image, Imagination, Imitation: we can think these three words come from the roots √Im, but it’s not true. It’s necessary to combine the proposition in with mi, that is, √Mei, to obtain this kind of words. √Mei recalls something that catch the attention, that is intermittent and that can change. For the three following artworks we decided to decline the root starting from the concepts of light and sound, using a set of different languages, such as English, Russian, Sanskrit, Latin, Avestan, Greek and Persian, and to create shapes...
