ISOLA COMACINA - ARTISTS’ RESIDENCY 2018

SELECTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL OPEN CALL ISOLA COMACINA ARTISTS’ RESIDENCY 2018
Brera Academy of Fine Arts, together with Fondazione Isola Comacina and the Municipality of Tremezzina, organizes an international artists’ residency program on Comacina Island. The residency will be held in the iconic Artists House designed in the1940’s by the Italian rationalist architect Pietro Lingeri.

In June I’ll be living on the Island to develop my project called "Il Paesaggio Interrotto". It will consist in a drawing project using the frottage technique and drawing with what’s absent, with the idea of found, translating a few fragments of the context into pristine pages.
I’m very interest on working with paper not only as a support of my drawings but also and above all as a sculptural material.
The entire project is inspired on an historical event that happened to the island centuries ago.
