Paola Pivi

Plexiglas beads and thread on wooden panel

Paola Pivi's work presents a dazzling and intricate composition of Plexiglas beads strung on thread and mounted on a wooden panel, creating a surface that shimmers and refracts light in constantly shifting ways. The piece exemplifies Pivi's interest in spectacle and sensory experience, transforming humble, repetitive materials into something visually arresting and almost hypnotic. The interplay between the rigid wooden support and the delicate, luminous beads generates a tension between structure and fragility central to her practice.
