This installation intends to represent metamorphosis as a force that mutates material through fire, an alchemic allegory of the human laboratory and its work in transforming
base substances into precious essence.
Eighty-five levels of handmade ceramics chosen from those most available in Italy
(Slate, Carnica, Luserna, Porphyry, Travertine, etc.),
arranged in a spiral, make up the crater of a volcano, to symbolise raw material.
This is captured in the act of belching out the natural product of its evolution,
as colourful, shiny glazed ceramics...
