Work in progress
New Project: 7 sculpture/poem/books
Here is the first of seven sculpture/poem/books.
Each book contains a poem and represents one of the 7 deadly sins as listed by Dante Alighieri in his epic poem "La Divina Commedia":
- luxuria (extravagance)
- gula (gluttony)
- avaritia (avarice/greed)
- acedia (acedia/discouragement)
- ira (wrath)
- invidia (envy)
- superbia (pride)
The pages are painted black to symbolize the darkness of a period without the" Divine Spark", 2 pages are totally black, as the author was too "lazy" or "didn't have the strength" to fill them.
The days are counted out, week by week, in lead color (piombo) in reference to Antonio Casanova's "I miei piombi" a fascinating account of his prison term at, and his escape from, the Palazzo Ducale in Venice.
