"Portrait of my Mother - Violet"

My last works consists in a series of plush blankets and shaggy carpets I shave off (either with scissors or with electrical hair-clipper) so that a relief, a "furry silhouette", would come out. 
This shape is the "image", if the blanket is monochrome, or it interacts with the original subject the blanket comes with to create a new visual pattern.
The slowly act of cutting off, of shaving, becomes a progressive revealing of a sort of inner form, which transforms perceptual vision in a wholly, intimate and tactile vibe.
The aim is that of exploring a sort of mystical materialism that links memory and dreams, that is, the reassuring and the disturbing.
