Ilaria Margutti exhibits in our gallery since 2018.
Ilaria Margutti has chosen an ancient art to talk about pain, healing and redemption. Embroidery is a female activity since the dawn of humanity. She allowed the needle, used as a pencil or as a brush, to let the thread tell an individual story that art makes universal. Thin but strong, the thread is twisted, stretched, knotted to patiently and proudly weave the representation of a sinuous and quivering body and ultimately confirm a new identity in conformity to new criteria. Pervaded by deep existential meaning, the mending of the body symbolizes the memory of a laceration in life that has to remain as a warning for the future. The damage makes the woman aware of the fact that she has become more "dangerous" because now she is aware the she can survive.
