To the north of Burano and Torcello there is a group of islands which were once united by a series of bridges. The largest island was Costanzica, founded by fugitives from Altinum who commemorated their homeland by naming the island after one of the 6 city gates. The island was well populated and rich with churches and eminent buildings. The churches of Saints Sergius and Bacchus and Saint Matthew stood on what is now known as Isola della Cura. In the barren expanses to the right of Torcello stood the churches of Saints Maximus and Marcellin built by Julian III, Bishop of Torcello, the church of Saint Maurice and that of Saints John and Paul with the convent of the Benedictine nuns. These places were progressively abandoned due to the gradual migration of the inhabitants towards the islands closer to the sea (Venice) as well as due to the gradual waterlogging of the zone due to the mud deposited by a branch of the Sile river. Any traces of these ancient inhabitants have long since been destroyed. The only remaining sign is the wall that surrounds the ossuary of Saint Arian which was built much later in 155. The island was last used as a place to breed fish and some of the tank outlines are still visible.

I was born in 1965 in Venice, where I studied History of Art and later trained with Emilio Vedova. I use a wide variety of materials and techniques to explore decline and regeneration within urban culture and make sense of the dynamic process of change and transformation within a variety of environments. I have shown my work in a wide variety of contexts: traditional solo and collective shows; indoor and outdoor performance and installation projects in collaboration with other artists and musicians: in particular, a performance at the 2001 Venice Biennale, the 2002 Liverpool Biennial, a series of shows at the Unity Theatre and Bluecoat Art Centre in Liverpool in 2004, Modern Art Oxford in 2008 and most recently a personal show at Taplow Court near Maidenhead. Most recently I have been focusing on private commissions, inviting people into my studio to see my work or taking my work onto the streets in interdisciplinary live performances.
