a hand and a leaf
a branch and an arm
a foot a twisting root
large horizons
closing in
circling back
doubling distances
touching in a fold
a gush of wind
sweeping the grass
ants like pearls
eyes like dew
forming at dawn
skin as soil
soil as felt
on fingertips
composting
worlds and
sensible spores
carrier of more
bodies
belonging
to rivers
to moving waters
flowing and
slowly becoming
unmade
undone
and one
at once
Alina Vergnano (b.Torino, 1989) is an Italian artist based in Oslo. She holds an MFA from the Art Academy in Bergen. With the line as a point of departure, she explores concepts of fluidity, time, and entanglement, working at the intersection of drawing, painting, and poetry. Recent exhibitions include LNM, Oslo; Sixi Museum, Nanjing; Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen; JVDW, Dusseldorf; MLAG, Bergen; Roman Road, London, and MELK, Oslo, among others.
The exhibition is the conclusion of her stay at the ARV.International artist residency in Vishovgrad, Bulgaria. Heerz Tooya and ARV.International are run by Lars Nordby.
The exhibition is supported by BKV, Billedkunstnernes Verdelagsfond.
