The Chapters

The chapters of the maison

Three moments. First the shape. Then the ones who left. Then everything else.

MATERIA

I didn’t choose the first ring. It came when something I had worked on with others was over, and over badly. I was simply down. Working with them, I thought that was my limit. Then I made that ring on my own, without asking anyone’s permission. I didn’t even like it, and I never have. But it made me feel I existed. Which one it is, I won’t say. From there I took away, for months, until only the shape was left. Materia is what was left. It starts here, and it comes back here.

Reminiscenza

Some wounds, however well you treat them, stay as scars. And they’re not necessarily a bad thing: it depends. Some you just look at, others make you think. It’s all interpretation, and this is mine: where it opened, I set a stone. The crack stays as it is, and the stone sits inside it. Really interesting people all have a story behind them, with its scars. What makes the difference is how you get past them. Reminiscenza is how I carry mine.

PALINSESTO

Palinsesto is where I try things. A setting I’ve never done, a stone cut in a way nobody usually uses, a finish I haven’t seen on anyone yet. What I’ve already done, I’m not interested in doing again. If it holds, it stays. It’s the most sensitive chapter of the three, because it’s the closest to me. And I’m not done yet.

Three lines, for now. A fourth is not excluded: it will come when there is a reason, not a season.
