Caterina Zucchi - Designer (Italy)
I'm a researcher of forms; my creations have always been distinguished by this research, even in the period when I was training, during my studies, stages or workshops. What I've found in glass and the glass blowing technique is the ideal and proper means to push this personal research forward. My artistic path concerns the attempt to let Murano glass jewels which are tied to the thousand-year-old history of decoration since forever, to have a new contemporaneity. Among the numerous glass-working techniques, I've chosen the blowpipe technique because it's based upon instant actions, and it requires precision and ability of gestures that make the glass even more versatile. This method allows improvisation to have much larger edges so I can better express my creativity.
