Susanna Costantini and Antonio Barone create a textile dividing element that evokes ‘gleaning’ as a metaphor for the selective process of memory, enhancing the marginal and forgotten element in a dialogue between preservation and abandonment.

SPIGOLATURE
Weaving as a form of writing with an inherent narrative process.
These textile panels are the result of a 'gleaning' process. The gleaning activity is something necessary we practice everyday and it has something to do with the recovery of value both material and emotional. The practice of gleaning brings with it a moment of choice, you evaluate, you decide whether to let go, recovering or processing.

Opus
This series takes inspiration from the ancient construction technique of the stone huts (tholos), ancient rural shelters used by shepherds in central Italy. The stones were carefully chosen and superimposed layer by layer without the use of lime or bonding material. Somehow it is a kind of wall weaving where each stone between the interstices contributes to stability.

Bandiere
The Flag series is a homage to the archaic nature of Abruzzo with its wide and still wild spaces. These Flags are made of wool, the soft, warm and generous material used by shepherds to protect themselves from the cold temperatures of prairies. Flags are crafted by using mainly Abruzzo-sourced organic wool from grazing sheep in the Campo Imperatore, an area at over 2000 metres of altitude.
