Giacomo Ravagli Toro

Open Vein stands in contrast to Ravagli’s previous collection, Barometro. Whereas the artist demonstrated complete control over his materials in Barometro, Open Vein introduces elements of chance into the creative process, as Ravagli learns to relax his processes.

This is seen in the mica elements of Toro, where the random crystalline patterns revealed in the translucent stone sheets of the light sculpture cannot be regulated or standardised. These designs are emblematic of Ravagli’s approach to this new collection; as much as you try to control it, nature is always unpredictable.
