About the Solo Exhibition
Barbara Raimondo comes from a small region in Italy, Liguria, a half moon of land set between the Mediterranean sea and the beautiful Appenino Ligure mountains. The land is limited and to maximise it for agricultural purposes they used to build terraces on the hills to cultivate olive trees and vineyards. Barbara's work is deeply influenced by the terraces, the red soil, and white waves crashing the coast at their bottom as well as the olive tree which is a key element of the Liguria cultural tradition. To amplify the design of her piece of art and to connect those with her land, Barbara creates naked clay sculptures reminding of her roots.
