As a proper almanac, this series of works on paper gather poetic verses, thoughts, symbolic images, in order to create an emotional diary of existence.
The Security Blankets are elegant pink cotton crib blankets, decorated with the characters of Alice in Wonderland, but embroidered with phrases taken from a survival manual in which techniques are taught to being able to stop a sexual assault. The embroideries of the instructions to fight/survive violate the innocence of the nursery and carry out a conceptual operation of brutal unmasking of the taboo that limits sexual violence to silence; through this way, this unmasking is also transformed into a warning for future generations.

lace tailored on photo
My parent’s marriage photos’. Lace is tailored only on women’s faces.
Il Pizzo is made up some of my parents’ wedding photos, a classic set of photos for that time, with my mother dressed in illusions and white lace. Like all photos from that period, the pictures are getting older now and the images are starting to fade. Only the lace that I’ve sewn onto them will remain. There is a disquieting transparency in this type of family photos; sewing bits of lace on to them seemed to restore the mystery that the social function seemed to have removed from them.
