Warmth

Site specific installation made out of 62 sheep pelts (5 x 7 mt). It is located in Sezze Romano, in the province of Latina on an old building that got damaged by the 2008 earthquake in Aquila. The artist uses the ancient technique of leather tanning to create a breathing veil to cover the center wound of the building - protecting it from the cold and the rain. Moving between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary art, the action recalls the artist's bond with his childhood and its geographical territory.
