Mirror Leaves - 2021

Mirror Leaves is a series of works made with natural elements foraged in little anthropized places like woods, montains and in non-commercial crops, covered (partially or totally) with thin layers of natural materials from different origin, such as metal leafs, shellac and resins. In this way the sculptures are created imitating symbiosis between different natural elements, are these contaminations to define the final aspect of the works.
Tridimensional works are sometimes exhibited in a photographic limbo made with a drawing paper on a FSC wood shelf, bidimensional works are exhibited hanging to the wall lean over two brass head nails.
