Artist’s book, 2013 – created on the occasion of the competition “Sheffield International Artist’s Book Prize 2013”, Sheffield, Great Britain – mixed media on paper, recycled cardboard, buttons, silver thread. 70 pages, cm 14.8 x 21 + cover, cm 17,5 x 24 x 1,8
The book documents the project ‘A-Ortista – Dalla semina al raccolto (From sowing to harvesting)’, carried out in Milan’s Parco Nord, with some photos. The content is linked to the Expo 2015 theme, ‘Feeding the Planet – Energy for Life’. Within this context, the drawings were created as inspired by the recipes of some Native American tribes. I have then worked on the prints of the drawings with pencils and/or collages. The white gloves have the function of symbolically protecting the energy of the plants that are enclosed in this book.
