Livia Marasso

Livia Marasso

The thin white thread is my means of expression, my gaze over reality. I love to treat porcelain like a fabric, reducing it into thin threads to be intertwined and superimposed, creating sculptures and objects with fluid and moving shapes. The surrounding world is my source of inspiration; some collections are inspired by nature and its bizarre expressions, others are a clear tribute to our everyday life, in which the intertwining of porcelain gives shape to a teapot or becomes the structure of an old telephone but also a symbol of memories and infinite connections that are born, die, come back, wrap around themselves, becoming the warp of human relationships that often do not follow a straight line. White is my favorite color, with the sense of lightness and purity that inspires, and the biscuit surface that allow you to better perceive the complex processing and make each object a visual and tactile experience. Nothing is static: porcelain becomes thread, thread becomes object or fabric, fabric sometimes becomes light; each work is the product of the union between the gaze, the material and the heat of the Kiln in which it take shape.
