La Macina di San Cresci

“Artists are interesting creatures. We can be obsessive, dedicated, spirited and single minded in our pursuit for that perfect realisation of our art. We tend to be outsiders and are often that square peg in the round hole, so when you find an oasis like San Cresci you hold on tight -- for it’s that sense of belonging which welcomes you.”

The emblematic figure of Ophelia in Hamlet permeates my work since 2009 when I started my doctorate in Education, Art and History of Culture. Ophelia, a character who falls in love and dies for love was and continues to be discussed by me exhaustively throughout this period. To talk about Ophelia is like elucidating the feminine condition these days. Different times but same problems. To die, to survive, to love, to fall in love and finally to remain silent.
