The Colour of Crazy
Installation, Abstract informal, Organic material, 60x40x25cm
An unexpected encounter with a person outside your usual sphere can be intriguing, enlightening and thought provoking. It can awaken you to a forgotten part of yourself, introduce you to a different world or a new way of thinking.
When mental illness is encountered, for the most part, it happens unexpectedly in an uncontrolled manner which can be simultaneously frightening, funny, embarrassing or traumatic.
A spontaneous decision must be made – turn away, giggle nervously, become aggressive or engage in a gentle, respectful and compassionate manner.
This installation consists of eight sculptural pieces based on a chance encounter with a person suffering from a mental illness. With this work I was trying to capture the beauty and anguish of a mind that travels down a different path to my own.

Love it!!
I've just voted your installation, but i'm afraid I haven't understand quite nothing about your work.
I like the correspondance between the objects upon the plan and the objects under the plan.
Above there is the mass, and under there are the skeletons?
Greetings from Pisa
