In addition to her job as a gemologist for a large firm of top-quality jewelry in Vicenza, Italy, in 2016 she started her own activity as a jewelry maker. Her pieces are characterized by shape linearity and ergonomics, derived from her previous studies on design, along with material plasticity and organicity. Her basic technique is lost wax in silver and bronze with the use of raw, cut and handcut stones, rocks, bones, shells, plexiglas and resins. She is an indipendet designer, artist and maker from January 2021.
The Morgana Fairy Effect is an optical illusion which takes its name from the famous witch of the Arthurian cycle. According to legend, Morgana was able to create magical illusions and deceptions, similar to the optical effects that occur in this atmospheric phenomenon. They are blurred images that float on the horizon and that can evoke vague and unknown shapes, in the same way that some distant memories float and mix in the horizon of memory, ending up being just a set of nostalgic sensations. When Proust speaks of “involuntary memory” he refers exactly to those unpredictable moments in which a smell, a sound or an image suddenly triggers these deep and intense memories snatching them to oblivion, giving them new life , amplifying them and giving you the illusion of being able to retain what, ultimately, remains only the echo of a happy past, but far and lost.
In this series of pieces I have put together stones with clean shapes and blurry images, superimposing pieces of old photographic films resined with rutilated quartz and lodolite. These with their drilling and their natural inclusions are mixed with the images below distorting and returning only an impression. Ultimately, the three concepts converge in making tangible the inexpressible, the desire for what is absent, nostalgic and unattainable.
