Making Bones for the neck…
I’m going to start
from the bones of the neck as it is a category that if you look into it you
will find it absolutely fascinating. Personally at first I thought the bones of
the neck are almost similar in all creatures but after some research they are
not. Actually they have the greatest variety in nature.
From dinosaurs to
animals…
*Photos taken by me from Natural History Museum in London and the book EVOLUTION, 7 stories pressed
And to humans…
As you see there are
plenty of elements to be combined, changed and transformed.
That’s how it works…

Why this blog?
Ok… After all the
formal stuff it’s time to explain the existence of this blog.
The whole “bones
thing” may spook some people. Funny
thing but it can happen. However, they are something natural and very important
for our life.
Through my work I develop
a different view on them. I am not neither a biologist, a scientist nor a forensic
anthropologist…! I am not going to make any scientific analysis (I do not even
know the actual name of some bones believe me!) or try to create a “spooky”
feeling –at least not for now- by giving any impression of scaring remains. I
admire and research a sculpture made by nature by taking its aim away -at least
for the time being- and I develop new sculptures out of it. On the other hand,
I keep the fact that the bones indicate the existence of the flesh as they hold
it and give its shape. With different bones we would be different creatures, so
simple. So just say that I am playing with nature by creating a transformation
of the real thing.
Actually we are living
in a world that speaks about the transformation of the body far too much and by
any means, from plastic surgery to DNA technology. So why not art participate
into this just by putting the question of what would happen, “if” that
transformation was much deeper?
Bottom line, this is what
this blog is about, to communicate and discuss my ideas and explain my pieces. Sketchbooks
are just too personal and more for educational reasons. Here I can better show
the way of thinking and how this concept evolves and adjusts to different minor
concepts as time passes.
So stay tuned!
