Stubbies Shorts For Sale




A first experience of his own studio.

Nagano, August 2010, with its own study, intended as a sculpture studio, is the first experience of autonomy of the work.
A very big house, even though Japanese ports to access the small bathroom and shower area, as distinct rooms. The door of your room, always low, where before only to my bed. Nothing new for me, thanks to the first experience of Japan two years ago but this place, this house is very different. By and go from home to study from a single door. So near and adjacent to the kitchen I see my last sculpture, and let them put on a table so low that it makes me back pain just watching it. In the study, without a floor and with the red earth from the old rusty iron authenticity of the settlement, some comfortable chairs, a few tables to support glasses and notebooks.

Servillo says: "The worst thing that can happen to a man who spends much time alone is not to have imagination."
Laboratory and imagination are like hands and eyes. Perhaps a comparison with some 'soaring enthusiasm, the laboratory is the place of my imagination.
Nagano and my chair, with the camera and a book and finally, a bit 'of silence that sometimes I am disgusted and I relive the times.
