I am an Italian lens-based artist (b. 1993) living in London. I graduated with Distinction in the Photography MA at the Royal College of Art (2019) after studying for a BA in Fine Arts at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts (2016). My practice focuses on the relationship between images and marks, seen as both carriers of memories.
Marks are represented in my work physically and abstractly to examine their connection to memories and deconstruct how these memories take form as images in art. As an artist, I am interested in exploring traumatic experiences, the taboos surrounding them, and how the inability to talk about feelings and past events ‘wounds us’ with a mark that is impossible to hide and heal completely.
My body of work revolves around photography and moving images, emphasising darkroom-based processes. The tactile element of my handprints and celluloid films is central. I am prompted by experiments and mistakes that occur, allowing light leaks and scratches to guide my work. My first series, 'Leaving a Mark,' showcases an example of this.
Selected for the SW Darkroom Residency Award, The Labyrinth Lab / RCA Award 2019 and the London Creative Network in 2020. Her work has been shown in Italy, England, America, and Czech Republic.
