2012 - Porcelain garden
|
"Porcelain Garden" is a project that started back in 2009 as a group of pieces constructed using techniques to make figurines. I liked the way they looked together and I exhibited them hanging from the wall.
At that time I became fascinated by gardens so I decided to take the project a bit further and took inspiration from traditional china floral decals. After working for several years on the decal making process, from drawing the sketches to screen-printing, I became interested in the decorative patterns, which, though many times inspired by real plants, are then transformed and stylized to fit the corporeal shapes of the pieces. My aim is to recreate those flower designs as three-dimensional objects.
Every piece is an imaginary flower. I don’t make sketches; just develop the shapes during the modelling process.
