SOLIFLEURS
NEL 2005, CHE A ME SEMBRA ORMAI UN SECOLO FA, DECISI DI PARTECIPARE AL CONCORSO DI CERAMICA DI CAROUGE. IL CONCORSO BIENNALE PROPONE UN TEMA DIVERSO AD OGNI EDIZIONE, E QUELLO DEL 2005 FU L'ECCITANTISSIMO "VASO PER UN FIORE SOLO". MI DEDICAI QUINDI ALLA RICERCA DI QUALCOSA CHE POTESSE ASSOLVERE AL GRAVOSO COMPITO DI CONTENERE UN FIORE RECISO (SIGH), MA CHE POTESSE ANCHE SODDISFARE UNA CERTA NECESSITÀ SCULTOREA. CON QUESTI PENSIERI REALIZZAI UN GRUPPO DI PEZZI UNICI, REALIZZATI A TRAFILA ED ASSEMBLATI A MANO. TROVAI IL TEMA DEL CONCORSO PER NULLA INTERESSANTE IN SÈ, MA, COME SPESSO SUCCEDE, SCAVANDO UN POCO SOTTO LA SUPERFICIE DELLE PAROLE E DEI SIGNIFICATI, SI POSSONO SCOVARE IDEE MOLTO CURIOSE E DIVERTENTI.
IN 2005, WHICH NOW SEEMS TO ME TO BE A CENTURY AGO, I DECIDED TO TAKE PART IN THE CAROUGE CERAMIC COMPETITION. THE BIANNUAL COMPETITION PROPOSES A DIFFERENT THEME EACH TIME, THAT OF 2005 BEING THE SUPER EXCITING (!) THEME: "VASE FOR A SINGLE FLOWER"...I TURNED MYSELF THUS TO THE SEARCH FOR A SOLUTION TO THE EXTREMELY SERIOUS TASK OF CONTAINING THE SOLITAY BLOOM, WHICH COULD ALSO SATISFY A CERTAIN SCULPTURAL NECESSITY. WITH THESE THOUGHTS IN MIND, I FORMULATED A GROUP OF SINGLE PIECES MADE IN SECTIONS TO BE ASSEMBLED BY HAND. TO ME THE THEME OF THE COMPETITION WAS NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST BIT INTERESTING BUT, AS IS OFTEN THE CASE, IN AN ATTEMPT TO LOOK BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE WORDS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE, WE CAN OFTEN FIND IDEAS THAT ARE CURIOUS AND INTERESTING IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.
