About the Item
Black Shell, Federica Luzzi, cotton, wool, 60” x 49” x 9”, 2009
Federica Luzzi (b. 1970, Italy) is known for her woven sculptures, which she creates using her own personal knotting technique. Luzzi is fascinated with plant seed, it is for that reason all of her work features the title 'Shell'.
Luzzi describes her work: "My artistic research deals with nature, in particular leaves, barks, but above all seeds of plants, pods that give me great fascination and the reason I entitle my works Shell, the English equivalent for the Italian “conchiglia”, conch. The term “shell” is based on the linguistic valence of covering, when shapes shut themselves up: carapace, cuirass, frame, carcass, skeleton, projectile, appearance, scale. I am interested in their small and sinuous shapes, which assure their mobility from trees, and in their vital capacity of shutting themselves until the moment they mysteriously wake up, the seeds like “sleeper beauties." The vertical loom and the tapestry art are tools allowing me to work the vegetal fibers from their frame to three-dimensionality. I present my art works in a dimensional installation as if they were fragments of a galaxy: macrocosm and microcosm together; disseminations, sowing of fragile bodies aggregated magnetically and arranged in constellations or in an unknown writing."
Luzzi’s work has been exhibited at the Central Museum of Textiles, Lodz, Poland, the Jean Lurçat Museum of Contemporary Tapestry, Angers, France, the Alvar Aalto Museum in Finland and the Royal Museums of Art and History, Brussels, Belgium, among other venues.
