The nature that is embodied in my jewellery is an unspoilt and wild nature, which grows and evolves autonomously, free and independent of any human will, and is lush, growing on itself to form an intricate and wonderful fabric.
It is a nature of lights, colours and shadows, dark and opaque areas, others transparent or frothy, and more vibrant zones.
Some shapes look like enormous oversized flowers as if they were trees or gigantic creatures that have nothing to do with decoration, even though they sometimes incorporate small recognisable elements such as murrine and crystals or miniature flowers.
Other times, this nature may look like a geological conformation formed by rocks created by a volcanic eruption: these are the forces of nature.
Other times, an animal appears and so nature becomes a landscape, perhaps an inner landscape; the animal blends into this landscape that is partly natural and partly artificial nature.
The material that forms my 'still life-landscape' is made of polymers, with the addition of other materials such as fused glass or crystal and some hard stones.
Anthropocene, the world we now live in and around us, appears transformed and now materials such as plastic are also part of it.
I appropriate them, I use small plastic objects and reintegrate them into my still lifes; I take materials considered in the current era to be eternal from the environment and use them precisely because of this characteristic: durability over time.
I first subject them to change, to soften objectivity and embrace other forms.
I feel the need to reconnect with nature and organic evolution; it is an involvement: I observe what attracts my attention, I look for the transformation and block the process as it then appears in the finished piece of jewellery.
