plastic pearls and thread, mounted to wood and canvas backing board
2013
Paola Pivi's work presents an intricate arrangement of plastic pearls and thread meticulously mounted to a wood and canvas backing board, creating a tactile and visually layered surface. The piece plays with notions of value and artificiality, using mass-produced materials to evoke the opulence and decorative tradition associated with pearls. The tension between the humble, synthetic nature of the materials and their ornate composition reflects Pivi's characteristic interest in subverting expectations and challenging conventional meaning.
