connection between this artwork and my practice:
Zorio is an Italian artist associated with Arte Povera movement, which was contemporary with the Gutai group in Japan.
He is known for his use of materials and I am interested in this artwork because he places the clay next to other materials, the Diameter of terracotta is based on the artist’s arm-span and the circle was moulded as he moved around at floor level. Which relates to my interest of relationship between body movement and the form.
