"Il desiderio è infinito" rug

"Nel tempo che ci hai messo a voltarti, battendo le ciglia lentamente, sono nata e rinata molte volte."
"In the time it took you to turn around, blinking slowly, I was born and reborn many times."

This image is almost cinematic, it is an 'outside day', we are observing a person ahead of us on the road who is about to turn around: when they turn around we will have no chance, he will see us and will certainly recognize us: the desire to meet that gaze is electrifying and terrible at the same time. The scene unfolds in slow motion.


The daughter of a Sardinian weaver, Caterina Frongia experiments with the craftsmanship of her homeland along with a more contemporary perspective on weaving. Textile writing is the common denominator between old and new works, it is the idea that becomes form, the metaphor that turns into matter. On her rugs, stories come to life in many forms, through words, colors, symbols. Exploring Caterina's work is like diving into her personal diary, full of images and stories.
In this case, however, it is not an anthology of other people's stories encrypted and yet to be deciphered, but the typing of a sincere laying bare of the artist's personal stories.
