Mallegni Studio

I am an artist who is inspired by wild landscapes, emotions and ideas. My personal relationship with the land evokes the depth of my artwork. With locally found wood I build armiture and combine kakishibu with washi to create conceptual minimulism sculpture that are etheral in nature. In addition to the use of painted kakishibu on paper I use encaustic medium to enhance the depth and subtle qualities of paper and mixed media elements. By allowing my work to be my voice I intend to convey my metaphysical and psychological connection with the earth.It is the tension between structure and chaos, discipline and passion and the tranquil beauty found in nature that has captivated my attention and motivates me to further explore the uses of organic materials in my artwork.
