BEATRICE SPADEA
b.1995
Italy
Beatrice Spadea’s practice explores
the intersections of imagination,
perception, and memory, investigating how these dimensions shape our
experience of the world. Her work
moves through spaces where dream,
fantasy, and poetry emerge, opening
reflective and alternative perspectives.
Her earlier works engaged with
shared natural and cosmic symbols,
which formed the starting point of
her research. Over time, her focus has shifted toward a sensory crisis and a
growing estrangement from the natural world, and how this disconnection
shapes inner life and perception. The
forest often appears as a central presence, understood as both a physical
and psychic space of renewal, coexistence, and resonance.
At the core of her current practice are textile works developed through
batik-dyed silks and hand-assembled
pieces on a loom. Through slow, process-based techniques, she explores
themes of identity, transformation,
and voice, allowing forms to frag-
ment, shift, and reorganize. Ceramic
sculptures and sound operate in
dialogue with the textile works, extending the investigation of resonance
and presence. Through these materials, she seeks to awaken perception and build an imaginary ecosystem
where matter and sound reconnect us
with the living world.
