“Finding freedom through the liberation of thought and abandonment of expectation. MI is a manifestation of open interactivity between creator and medium, driven only by technique which helps guide the unconscious author to feel and follow the natural path and yearning of the material itself. As water will find unique forms and states to best suit its environment, all life and matter will evolve into its true natural and most harmonious configuration once free of the artificial constraints of conditioning and duty that bind it.This ‘hat’ by Virna Pasquinelli focuses the elements and senses of the room inspired by the non-linear affections of jazz and evoking the spirit of Josephine Baker to create an object of embodiment. As a hat might accentuate a person, MI releases the aspirations and desires of the room whilst allowing the material to find its true self, growing beyond simply ‘hat’, ‘bowl’, ‘lampshade’ to simply just be, harmonious.Made by hand, free from mind.”
