Original artwork description:

i wanted to think this sculpture as illusion of a collage.
cut, move and paste shapes as if it was a simple gesture, stay minimal as in my sketchbook.


In my process, I create shapes that tends to escape or go out of frame.
Many times, i was enjoying the process so much, that I had to find a new way to develop new shapes, so I started to use collage and paper weaving to create unexpected shapes and have a faster idea. Overthinking can shut down a great concept.
I had a pile of used paper, some used for past stencils, some found in the street, some from failed paintings. Then I started a notebook, square format, based on a Grid, keeping my reductive choices in a notebook that i can keep in my bag, always.
Slowly it became an alphabet, repertoire of abstract typography, mixing textures, accidents, and out cuts.
It gave me one more reason to stay in the process, and re-create these fast collage in assemblage, 3D translation of them, and create this illusion in Sculpture.
Extending edges to A new path, and again developing colors interactions and surfaces.

i hope the viewer can perceive the process and create their own mindscape and extend it to their inner dialogue.
