Ouroboros

This is a wooden frame with plaster ornamentation, connected by a water circulation system. All parts, except some metal components, were made by the artist’s hands. The work contrasts precise craftsmanship with an instinctive approach to sculpting. The sculpture evokes a historical discussion about decoration that spans from Vitruvius, Cochin and Loos; lying behind this discussion is an exploration of rationality and irrationality.
