the ‘radici’ (roots) collection stems from the need to revisit my origins and rekindle my contact with nature through a new lifestyle.

the intention is to maintain the raw material – stoneware – visible and bring it to the fore.
the aim is to emphasise its complexity even when untreated.

the shapes of the objects I create are reminiscent of stones and pebbles, to the touch their texture is evocative of rock and of the mountain losa, a distinctive stone roofing slab. i like to alternate raw pieces with glazed pieces to highlight the contrast between the clays and create an interplay of light and shadow.

the glaze i use calls to mind the mosses and lichens found at high altitudes. it yields peculiar effects that differ each time.

“roots” to me means reconnecting with the soil and with simplicity.
