I work with a variety of media, but my favorite is installation, in which I incorporate different elements: hand-built ceramics, found objects, and repurposed materials.
Where do you find inspiration?I am inspired by the idea that everything is connected, our state of mind, the severity and urgency of the environmental crisis and its complex and ubiquitous manifestations. My works continue to evolve in unique ways, where places and connections with different cultures have put me on a path of new challenges. Thanks to these experiences, I can discover and explore a new world of ideas and implement them with a variety of media of my interest, including found objects from places I have lived.
What would you do with $25,000?A portion of the prize will go toward materials and rental costs for the ceramic studio. I will make some changes to my small home studio. I would love to undertake a ceramics residency in Japan or another country to learn new techniques and immerse myself in the culture. And a home-cooked meal for Johnny (my mother's Italian cannelloni recipe is pure happiness for the soul—I'll make it even if there's no prize money left! ;)
