Porcelain.
I stretch it, paint it, fold it, going to the limits of its strength, fragility and transparency.
It often leaves me in desperation because of its fragility.
It leaves me breathless with the feeling of happiness to see its fragile intensity.

Bayou Flower

She wanted to be a flower, born in the Bayou out of Cajun melodies.
Formed by the touch of violin strings,
uplifted by the voice of the bandoneon,
unfolded by the gentle embrace of the guitar sound.
She gathers sadness in her petals; longing, lost loves and kisses.
She dreams in the shade of ancient life oaks where lichen veils dance on the rhythm of a song brought on the river by the wind.
Her red rims are wounds of 'saudade' and burn bronze in the evening sun.
She grows transparent with light, her heart filled with possible worlds.

selected for the 28th Gold Coast International Ceramic Award 2012

Gabriella Sacchi e il Laboratorio Spazio Nibe compiono trent’anni di attività.
Per questa occasione viene organizzata la mostra “Mamma mia dammi 100 lire…”.
Protagonista della manifestazione è il salvadanaio, oggetto che esiste in tutte le culture, con funzioni pratiche e simboliche: custodire il denaro accumulato per occasioni particolari, che escano dalla routine, e sollecitare comportamenti virtuosi, finalizzati alla realizzazione di desideri.
Trentadue artisti che, in questi anni, hanno partecipato alla vita del laboratorio, contribuendo alla sua crescita, sono stati invitati a realizzare un’opera.
Insieme ai trentadue salvadanai, Gabriella Sacchi presenta “Trent’anni”, un calendario ceramico da lei stessa creato, che testimonia gli avvenimenti, gli incontri, le attività, gli oggetti creati e promossi dal laboratorio e dallo Spazio Nibe.
