In questa serie di sette incisioni, vorrei ritrarre ciascun pezzo come un unico giardino.
L’ispirazione deriva da una preparazione di schizzi, e da un lavoro diretto sulla lastra di metallo nel giardino del ‘Palazzo Dei Cartelloni’ sede della SACI Firenze.

In this series of seven etchings, I wish to portray each piece as a unique garden of it’s own. Inspiration and varied beginnings of the imagery were derived from preparatory sketches, and from working directly on the metal plate in the garden at Palazzo dei Cartelloni. The initial structure and composition in the form of lines drawn from observation, served as the foundations or “seeds” to the eventual unfolding of each work, that evolved through the laborious etching process. Each work evolved and direction was determined through the layering of various elements of design; from line to texture to tonal variations, revealing a new challenge and discovery. My garden is one that is not other’s, but what it is, is an imagined place that I designed, allowing for elements that were not completely controllable to live and breathe on their own.
