Axis
Recalcitrant Sigh
My practice emerges from gaps in familial and regional memories of southern Italy. Moving across sculpture, installation, writing and sound, I create layered narratives that attempt to hold multiple lived experiences of Calabria and Sicily. My work often begins from the fallout of material from industrialisation, labour cycles, geophysical events, and migration. In tracing what has been left behind, whether forcibly or (un-)intentionally, the work centres itself around material's timekeeping potential: its ability to hold memory and sensation when the body falters to do so.
