Cose che accadono (Things That Happen), Alessandra Spranzi
"Alessandra Spranzi presents Cose che accadono (Things That Happen), photographs taken between 2002 and 2004 in order to investigate gestures and objects that explain nothing, but could occur.
What is the truth behind a gesture? And what is the truth behind a photographed gesture? ‘Everything occurs continuously, without a pause, leaving very few traces’, the artist replies. ‘Unlike the previous works, this is not a series: there is no modulation, but rather the identification of a common atmosphere, a feeling that links the photos, regardless of their formal consistency. The common elements are a room, a table and the mise-en-scène of several everyday objects’."

hello
For years I have intended to display there
some of the illustration/drawing based work that I’ve been making. Somehow, I
never got to it and the ‘coming soon’ sign has been sitting there for years… by
now, mocking me.
It was suggested to me, many times, to
delete that section from my website but I always resisted as I felt that, one
day, I’d like to put that part of my work out there.
I love the process of jewellery making.
In my case, and maybe many jewellers can
relate, making jewellery is a very physical, bodily experience. It’s immersive and I love it.
Creating drawings, in comparison, is a
quiet process. I enjoy and even need that contrast in my creative practice.
They coexist.
