Gallery Funaki: Kiko Gianocca

‘To create objects is exploring what is around me and effect me. To manipulate materials and to develop new forms is a sort of documentation. In the making, conscious and unconscious meet and the resulting objects become the refuge of thoughts, memories, joy and fears.

I like to think of them as entities that accompany us, and that on the body are materialised. Their tangibility in a way serves to overcome a sense of absence.

Often the result is more a materialisation of an experience, rather than a formal interpretation. Abstract forms, volumes, varying dimensions and textures are just the vocabulary.’
