The Big Nest
Wood Sculpture Contest

 

Sila Piccola Calabria
October 2011

 

I was invited by the Academy of Fine Arts in Catanzaro to a sculpture symposium in the Sila National Park, along with 5 internationally renowned sculptors. Inspired by the nature of the place, I realize a site specific work, a huge nest with bracken, gorse and fir tree branches, suspended between the ancient trees of the park.
I breathed in the scent of nature and the magic that it emits.

Thus it was born “The Big Nest”, a symbol of motherhood, care, growth. All come from a nest, all we grew up in it, with it we fed. All.
