the word   I really wanted to hide myself   I wonder how she sees me   but I want to
know her too   now I hide   like when I was a child   oh well   the gestures the
 posture   the standing   why not put some pictures together in mosaic   what do you
think?   a set of rectangles   I did a test and I allowed myself to make black and white
some of yours to see how it rendered
If you want to do black and white like you say   then I’ll attach three pieces of evidence.
Hi
Tommasina Bianca

hello Tommasina, sorry I was distracted this weekend and I did not notice the mail
messages. I really like these mosaic works especially the last one, the copy 2 where the
B/N does not turn to a warm tone. I thought of the word centered /c entered or better
entered, I thought of the self centering… and so I let it into the photo. Do you find
yourself there? Thanks for all the material and the letter, now I read it, we talk in the
next few days so we talk in voice?
a warm greeting
Antonella

transformations, yes, one for you, the other for me, the other for the other. It was a
simple interval of mutual knowledge.

you enter it or entered
a warm greeting or best greeting

Antonella Ortelli lives and works in Milan. Since the late 1980s, she’s been  developing a particular direction in researching the transformation of the sign into a drawing placed in space and reinterpreted through the centrality of the relationship. Her work has been exhibited in numerous collective and solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad. In 1991, she conceived and founded the Progetto Casina with Carla Vendrami (1962-2009), Silvia Truppi (1950-2001), and with the collaboration of Aldo Rocco, Luca Quartana and Giorgio Zanchetti at the Women’s Section of the San Vittore prison in Milan. The project is still active and you can follow it on facebook.
