Scuola (a space for exchange) is inspired by my research into the history of paper marbling, its relation to trade and the transmission of ideas in the city of Venice, conducted during the Venice Steward Research Fellowship funded by The British Council and Wysing Arts Centre in 2019.

The installation considers a network of histories interwoven and influenced by acts of artistic production, incorporating craft, interventions and chance associations.

Incorporating Suminagashi, marbled mono-prints, found objects and digital text collages the work offers a network of prompts inspired by Venice as a city of interactions.

Exhibited at Interesting Times in Venice at London Metropolitan University in 2020, the installation provided a environment for the live making of marbled prints, becoming a temporary workshop, or atelier, inspired by the artisans of Venice.
