CLOTOGALLERY

Clotho, the first of the three Moirai (Fates), weaves the thread with which the canvas of life is intertwined.
In my sculpture, the bronze canvas that must be made first supports the other metal filaments in an indissoluble and inextricable material intertwining.
In this way, I regain the face: the matrix bronze acts as an almost invisible support; the copper, tin, and silver, bound together, give shape to the thought.
However, partial, missing, and undefined, the intersection and the set of metals return to me only in part the half-closed eyes gaze.
This is how I wanted it: absorbed, thinking, concise like a Japanese haiku. That is how it is.

The artwork was created using the lost-wax casting technique, modified to perform multiple pours with metals of different qualities. The aim is to create an artwork composed of multiple colors related to the presence of different metals intimately linked together to reconstruct the original shape designed in clay. This technique was developed by the author specifically to achieve this result.
Following the finishing of the parts, the various components are assembled through micro-welding. Finally, a surface patination treatment is carried out using acids and oxidizing substances.
The artwork is entirely conceived, created, and produced by the author.
