The element from which my research develops is a visionary obsession that I had to give form to in
a plastic harmonic asymmetric symbol: the ”Blade”.The series of the glass soaring still blades, look as if
supported by a balanced tension between attraction and push strengths, it represents the starting point from
which my plastic research relative to spiritual dynamism develops. Hence the ”blade” as a clarified element
of the tumultuous creative impulse. The blade represents the thought that introduces the light, and the organ
of creation that opens to fecundate and split in two to permit the synthesis. The blade is the shaft of light
that illuminates and opens a closed space. It is the sunray, the fertilising element that splits images, without
confusing them and reducing them to a level of pure abstraction. In the “enlightenments” the works are still;
they are structures that freeze a continuos occurring. There are not physical expedients to underline the
kinetic nature of the works and yet, I think, these works communicate a strong dynamic charge. A spiritual
dynamism that transcends the apparent representation of the effect of linear motion. Inserting the glass points
in iron holes make me feel that the physical and symbolic contrast between glass and iron creates a process
of vibrations by which the sculpture is charged with spiritual, dynamic energy.
The representation of iron penetrated by glass is an obstacle to rationality, a paradox, a koan that
activates a succession of mental process that lead to levels of higher conscience…. enlightenments. With the
“side enlightenments” the visual sensation of real penetration is lost. It’s more refined or better more evolved
enlightenment.Iron loses its physical materiality and becomes a surface where the point’s linear projection is
traced. It is a wake like the one produced with water or air molecules; this starts a conceptual research that
has to do with the energy propagation in the space. The environmental installation “Percer-Voir” represents the
first step of a research that uses environmental presence to stimulate us to find and to verify the level of our
own mental and physical existence. (AndreA MOrUCCHIO)
