Benedetta Ubaldini creates fairy tales using chicken wire sculptures
By Eyeswoon, on July 23rd, 2012
When I first saw these pigs among the clouds I thought of the “when pigs fly” phrase used to describe a situation that will never happen. And, coincidentally, that’s what Milan based artist Benedetta Ubaldini may have had in her mind when she hand-sculpted these forms from chicken wire, though she may not be familiar with that same phrase. The artist creates these installations to “give a sense of wonder and magic.”
Using transparent, overlapping figures like pigs, rabbit, and Little Red Riding Hood, Ubaldini builds ethereal installations that look like scenes from a fairy tale. About using chicken wire as her medium, she says, “The simplicity of this material contains the magical power of transparency that is capable of giving each piece the lightness of an apparition, a ghostlike quality, like a trace from a memory.”
Light shapes of animals, made with wire. Transparent presences, even though colored, to brighten up ordinary spaces. They are Benedetta Mori Ubaldini's wire sculptures.
The funny pink pig, the ethereal white rabbit. And the bear, never so light and safe. A zoo made of incorporeal, silent animals, free from any kind of materiality. But so real and alive. The wiry net that outlines them and at the same time imprisons them, is indeed that thing that brings lightness to them.
Made up of the same inconsistency dreams are made of, they look like belonging to dreamworld, to those tales and images that live in everybody's mind. Sometime between sleeping and waking, often when lost in thought.
Benedetta Mori Ubaldini brings them into the present, into the real world, let them going around in the garden or in a corner of the house. Giving cheerfulness and lightness to who stares at them.
