Project for bfsp#01
Mile loop,
wind dust,
all my hair,
I took the time,
merger,
belly of the earth
I took the boat
Water-metal
mile loop
root, bad weed,
lifeline, line,
dread of god,
I took the plane,
to relearn history.
Usb cable,
I say bye,
my hair, fire (...)
My work intends to exploit a variation of the lost-wax casting process, that is to use my hair instead of the wax to carve them in bronze. My dreadlocks will then parallel become the original model, the matter of the sculpture, and the final artwork too. A phoenix-like part of my body will be out of me, altro da me. Eventually distant, objectified. My 65 dreadlocks will become a tentacular creature made of bronze through ash. Each of them is imagined to be displayed in relation to poetry under multiple forms, i.e. juxtaposed to engraved on wooden canvas poems.
