Friulane by Irene Cattaneo

About the Item

Fragile footsteps in handblown Murano glass clouds appear to creep across the floor in Cattaneo's inflated play on the classic Venetian shoe. The amorphousness, deceptiveness, and molten transformability of clouds make them function, for Irene, as a symbol of her creative practice. Irene established her studio in Venice three years ago, after a peripatetic career in fashion design. She chose Venice for its beauty and also to be wit hin easy reach of the quarries, foundries, and Murano glass studios which form the material spine of her practice. Her process is at once intuitive and thoroughly conside- red. In her titling, she places a strong emphasis on double entendres, puns, and wordplay. Her most signature cloud form is Cumulus-a variety that looks like a fistful of round cotton balls glommed together. Sometimes this form is realized in glass, other times in stone. Glass, like clouds, is difficult to define.
