Art is nothing more than a flow of ideas that blends together over the course of history without breaks or temporality.

Artists of all times demonstrate that they can always play with the historical fabric and re-propose in the plot of today the threads woven centuries before in a continuous and eternal return.

My work presents a large raw canvas for painting, tubular, hung on the wall with a metal support.

The canvas can be slid on the support and is embroidered with threads of different materials; a small table with needles and threads is placed near it.

Symbolically, the work proposes the concept that art is a continuous flow of ideas and currents that have their own life and development in a given historical period but that can be resumed centuries later, without ever knowing death. The threads of various materials are meant to symbolize the artistic currents that express themselves in different ways and through different materials. The canvas is the historical plot but it is also a symbol of art itself; the needles are nothing more than the artists’ tools. The edges of the fabric are deliberately joined and the ability to slide the canvas in a perpetual motion underlines the concept that art has no end or beginning.

My work creates a dialogue between the past and the present, playing with elements from other eras, such as the wooden table or the embroidery box (both objects of my grandmother), and the installation which is one of the many expressions of contemporary art.

Art is also seen as a work “in progress” because I offer spectators the opportunity to intervene on the work by adding embroidery.

Contemporary art, therefore, is the fruit of eternal historical returns, and it too, when it ceases to be “contemporary”, will be set aside, taken up again, stitched together, reinterpreted, and will therefore be a thread taken up again by future artists.
