THE ARTWORK
In Grazia Varisco’s Extrapagina per Extravacanza, paper folds and rises, transforming the page into a spatial presence. A red frame and an inscription cross the light surface, while edges and overlaps reveal the relationship between plane and volume.
The 2017 mixed-media work brings material gesture into dialogue with language. The page is no neutral support: its folds change the reading and give the sheet a direction of its own. The eye follows lines, shadows and margins, encountering a small space where writing helps construct the form.
