Maramiagoli

Research on the cat led me to select the positions that would make it possible to make it with clay without too many risks of breakage that would resonate with my feeling of that shape. I always tend to make everything very dramatic. So it was a constant and often unproductive research.
When my child, one day, in the laboratory drew the outline of the cat with all four paws aligned on the surface, I saw that in its simplicity he had created a work that was both humble and ingenious.
Made with the slab, the maramiagolo, a very small piece, can support itself and even support a well-extended tail, can also be colored cold with tempera and wax, and it freed me from the weight that I felt I still had to unload with Raku enameling. It made me turn the page!
It became a small lucky charm, a wish for lightness, irony, simplification that always gives me great joy and serenity to model. This little one also loves to travel and the collection of images that portray him around the world is currently being uploaded!
