Laura Pasquino draws inspiration from the history of Cwart and its agricultural surroundings. She rediscovers everyday objects - tools, containers and barrels - that have accompanied generations of labour. Instead of reproducing them, she gives them a second life by transforming them into a sculptural language in which abstraction dialogues with the memory of forms.
Instead of capturing these objects in their original function, she reinvents them through the medium, giving them a new symbolic value. Through research in archives, letters and photographs, she integrates these forms into a narrative in which the history of the hands that wielded them can be recognised in every detail.
