Catalogue note
Theodora BARAZZONE’s sculptures are resolutely anthropomorphic. These blossoming yet delicate or even innocent figures arouse a sense of direct sharing of the emotions hinted at by the subtle tensions inscribed in the stone. The apparently simple postures generate a strong feeling of urgency, a spinal stimulus, as though something were about to happen, as if a movement was momentarily suspended or had been caught off-balance in a passing gaze. At the same time the dynamics of gravity, the invisible links with the earth, are at play, underscoring the contemplative sedateness or playful buoyancy of these quasi-allegorical or metaphorical figures.
