The relationship I have with my body, and my body to the earth, and the earth to sacredness. Sacredness that binds the earth of my body to the voyaging soul for its call is to cross through strata.

Born in Germany raised in Italy, my cultural formation developed at the University of Genoa in Italy, at the London Metropolitan University in the UK, and at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, California. But my academic experience could not be complete without the knowledge gathered from nature and from an itinerant lifestyle that took me from rural to urban environments in the pursuit of art and love.
For years I worked with recycled plastic bags creatively interacting with different landscapes, indoors and outdoors, forming a large body of work that has been exhibited and awarded internationally. A fellow artists of several A.I.R. programmes such as I-Park, KIAC, Bemis, McColl, SFAI, Djerassi, Aberyswyth, Montalvo, I’m also a proud recipient of the Joan Mitchell Grant, the Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner Grant, the Royal British Society of Sculptors Bursary Award and the Pritzker Foundation Endowed Fellowship Award. Voted the Public Speaks Winner for the Broomhill National Sculpture Prize, short-listed for the BBC2 documentary School of Saatchi, judges personal favourite and commended for the British Women Artist’s Prize. More recently the recipient of the Maryland Federation of Art Juror’s Choice, digital Art finalist for the Women United Art Movement Art Prize and digital finalist for the Amedeo Modigliani Prize.
Since graduating from Suzanne Lacy’s Public Practice MFA programme, my work has taken a radical feminist turn leading into the meanders of my fluid-eco-glitch-femininity.
Currently searching for possible connections between the conceptual and spiritual, I am interested in where and how these two realms meet in art.
Whilst my art practice might well be my very own emancipatory process woven into the environmental crisis, I voice myself through video, performance and interactive poetry.
My first book titled …and they lived happily ever after…has recently been published
