Inner Motion
During her childhood,Paola Griziwould often watch her aunt working with clay.
These sculptures typically depict faces emerging from a books pages, provoking a quiet sense of introspection.
Essential to evoking this journey is Grizis own spontaneity and intuition.
“Inner Motion”
The faces naturally settle where the clay seems to direct them, she says.
After casting her sculptures in bronze, Grizi engraves writing into the books pages.
The engravings are an integral part of the piece.
“Silence”
They convey a meaning that enriches and completes the narrative, she adds.
