Ecriture Plastique
1990-present
‘…in order for everything to exist, nothing is needed’ (Marina Tsvetaeva)
From this absolute concept, inner and physical emptying, through diversified and intense pictorial/sculptural experiences, I have come to a Materialization of writing, through the study and consequent re-appropriation of the signs-symbols of our past whether they are archaic, Etruscan, Egyptian, Mycenaean or Minoan .
I intervened in some of those frontier areas, where the old barriers have fallen and the field is open to new languages, evocative references to ancient writing systems.
I brought into play its latent decipherability but also its peremptory indecipherability… With these hypertext journeys from one era to another.
From painting to writing, I wanted to underline an archeology in progress, a leap into the timeless.
Fernanda Fedi
”…la Fedi propone espliciti riferimenti archeologici ed antropologici, dove la genesi del formato e del segno individuale dell’artista ripercorre, per allusioni, lo sviluppo storico del linguaggio scritto, a partire dalle possibili origini magiche o, almeno, mitico-rituali”
Giorgio Zanchetti, 2006
‘…l’artista,in pratica, applica la regola del silenzio (una regola monastica, come si sa) vuoi alla materia pittorica in senso stretto, in modo che niente possa informare e nulla possa descrivere e raccontare’
Emilio Isgro’ ,1996
