Elena Damiani's 'Flow Structures' at Francesca Minini, Milan
Elena Damiani (Lima, 1979) presents 'Flow Structures' at Francesca Minini gallery in Milan's Lambrate district, a refined essay in structural geology using alternating core samples. The exhibition reimagines a sieve, with metal meshes of varying widths and drawings of stone veins that grid the undulating crystalline movements trapped in rocks. Works like 'Unsaturated mudcrack', the 'Filters' series, and 'Casting voids' in travertine highlight metallic colors and irregular crystal intrusions, contrasting with vein characteristics akin to wood inlay guided by the hieratic luster of brass and copper. In the farthest room, 'Partition' combines brass nets and travertine surfaces, referencing the transitional beginning of 'Flow Structures' through spongy stone tiles dominated by fossil matter layers that filter light. The show runs until January 16, 2017.
