WOODSTACKS
November 13th, 2017 - January 12th, 2018


Let me briefly idealize the concept of a woodstack. Woodstacks are truly altars to nature and to woodland. The word catasta is a poem in itself, because of the wood that it is made of, the things it conjures up and - in the Italian language - because of the sound of the word itself. I know woodstacks are not always well-crafted things of beauty; often they are an insult to the environment and nature. But, every now and then, they can be veritable constructions: cottages or vast cathedrals with big roofs to cover them, holding the pieces together and sheltering them from rain and snow. (Michele De Lucchi, October 2017)
