"I believe in wonder.
I always believed that paper could be a precious material, if it's used with passion and care. Paper, just like fabric, has a natural magic and a long life.
I believe that words are important, just like their meaning and their history, and that they must be chosen with awareness and wisdom.
I believe that objects can absorb emotions from their creators, and from people who own them.
I believe in Nature, boundless source of inspirations, that contains wonder.
And I believe that everything in life is art.
We are art."
FORMA MENTIS
Forma Mentis is an endless journey where paper meets other materials, like fabric or wire
and became something else.
Is art to wear , to experience and carried around with all its meaning.
It is a latin term that indicates a person’s mindset , a person’s set of attitude, or ,
more simply,the mental structure.
It also interesting how these two words alone precisely indicate artistic work: continuos
reflection and study which are expressed through shapes.
Paper, pearls and gold foil brooche
