Lucia Massei
My interest is in my personal, intimate world: the one of untold personal lives, the one of the personal objects whose story has been lost: the silence in which these lives or objects are entangled Is of special energy to me. We know almost nothing of such things and lives, we can only perceive a trace out of their original contest: this empty space creates a tension which feeds my curiosity and imagination. I am also attracted by how time works in things and people: this is why I am curious of ancient civilization and the pre-industrial world.
Creative work is necessary to me, as it looks that my hands give a shape to my thoughts. To make is letting hands do as the hearth and the soul can’t say: it a language of its own, accomplished in itself, full, silent and accomplished.
