Experience, Memory and Imagination Unlocking Creativity
Raphael Di Luzio
The workshop will focus on work with items found in nature, such as pieces of trees, plants, grass and rocks, which will be used to build natural forms. We will be building two types of structures: "Boats of Ancestors and Memories,"
floating forms representing a metaphor for all the ghosts, ancestors and memories of the past that had been "invited" at the beginning of the workshop to return to the "other" world from which they came. The other type, "Dwellings of
Memory", will be built forms, metaphors for dwellings, made from fallen tree branches and other exclusively natural materials that have died and fallen to the ground. These will be simple forms, only held together by very ancient,
crude means – tree bark, thin branches interlocked together and so forth. The projects will allow for no materials to be used that are not natural or from nature, as well as no metals of any sort – only (dead) plants, rocks, tree branches, leaves, earth and similar items.
