MARIALUISA SPONGA ARCHI
My creative work stems from the world of architecture having been an
editorial co-ordinator for architect magazines.
As an assistant to my husband, a professional photographer of
architecture and art with the SPONGAdiffusione, 1972/92, I followed out the creation and realization
of textiles. This past experience helped
stimulate my imagination and the desire to explore and experiment with textile
materials in order to create new textures.
It was my encounter with Marina Giannangeli, architect and textile
designer, 1990/94 which brought about a turning point towards a new direction:
a casual and rational use of the most diverse kinds of flexible materials,
creating three-dimensional works made with different materials.

"Chromatic Fields n.4" is an assemblage of materials on three
layers, with free machine sewing with transparent and metallic thread. Cotton
and polyester cloth, plastic, PVC, gauzes, pirkka paper ribbons, copper cloth,
treated cloths and threads.
My continuous encounter with modern art over the years has allowed me to
build up an entirely personal language.

Hello MariaLuisa,
ReplyDeleteI think I might have met you quite a while back at a quilt show in Lyon. It is good to see you are still using unusual materials in your work.
Perhaps someday we can meet again!
