Emilia Faro's Sculptural Graftings at Galleria Davide Paludetto

Emilia Faro (born 1976, Catania) presents an exhibition at Galleria Davide Paludetto in Turin, featuring sculptures and drawings that explore fracture, grafting, and metamorphosis. The artist uses agronomic techniques like grafting and hydroponics, combining plant elements with resin and volcanic sand from Mount Etna. Her works, including 'Idroponica #3' (2018) and 'Grafting #3', hang suspended or emerge from gallery walls. The exhibition is dedicated to pain and rebirth, drawing on Sicilian cultural heritage and the philosophical legacy of Magna Graecia. Faro describes grafting as a way to create stronger plants from wounds, revealing regeneration's poetry. The show includes drawings on paper with black and pink colors symbolizing strength, fertility, death, and rebirth. The exhibition was reviewed by Federica Maria Giallombardo for Artribune in July 2018.
