I was there for an art exhibition and she was briefly introduced to me as the co-owner of the gallery and a ceramic artist, an information that \u2013 of course! \u2013triggered my interest.<\/p>\n<p>Small talk is not among my qualities, so I immediately asked her about her work. Her posture changed, her eyes lit and Mirna the charming lady gave way to Mirna the artist who bewitched me with her contagious passion for clay and her astonishing technical knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Following our conversation she sent me some pictures of her works, which I found absolutely interesting. Still I was hesitant to write an article about Mirna without having actually seen her pieces, which I longed to do, by the way. The announcement of her new solo exhibition in Tuscania unclenched my silent hurray!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I was among the first to arrive to the opening but Mirna was already busy with her guests so I got the chance to explore her work by myself and savor its deep emotional dimension and strong formal character.<\/p>\n<p>Later on, Mirna joined me and delicately led me into her creative world, explaining how she\u2019s been experimenting with shapes, different types of clay and\u00a0 techniques to unveil the mystery of birth and the continuous flowing of life into nature.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Italian Ceramics - &quot;Trace&quot; by Mirna Manni \" href=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-artwok-web.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2665\" style=\"margin: 6px 8px;\" title=\"Italian Ceramics - &quot;Trace&quot; by Mirna Manni \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-artwok-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-artwok-web.jpg 637w, https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-artwok-web-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" \/><\/a>Mirna has been digging into her memories, she has been exploring layered joys and pains, conscious and unconscious doubts, unanswered questions, turning them into actual sculptures, symbols of a soul \u2013 her soul, our soul \u2013 that breaks free from its earthly ties only to better understand them. The leitmotiv of her work is life, its frailty and sacred beauty, and, by mere consequence, death. Her nature inspired shapes are always open, to let life in and to evolve into a next step, a destiny they foresee and embrace.<\/p>\n<p>At the entrance of the gallery there was a cloud of white, pearlescent cocoons hanging from the ceiling. A few steps ahead large seeds were scattered on the wall, positive symbols of a new, vital breath.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Italian Ceramics - &quot;Nostos&quot; installation by Mirna Manni\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-Nostos-web1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2678\" style=\"margin: 8px;\" title=\"Italian Ceramics - &quot;Nostos&quot; installation by Mirna Manni\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-Nostos-web1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-Nostos-web1.jpg 604w, https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-Nostos-web1-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a>Right in the centre of the gallery, nine boxes were lying on the floor, each containing a black mask and a tidy pile of painstaking handwritten letters, paperclay sheets containing thoughts, memories, short stories\u2026 crumbs of a lifetime on earth.<\/p>\n<p>Most people, including myself, stood dumb mouthed in front of an installation named \u201cSo spin the Fates\u201d. The Fates, or Moirae, were the three Greek goddesses of Fate. Klotho spinned the thread of life, Lakhesis measured it and Atropos cut it.<br \/>\nLarge, full, black and white shapes gaily hanged from the ceiling by thin, almost invisible threads, others were losing their vital breath and some were laying on a rich brown soil, completely empty. You could swear they were knitted, but no. They were really made of clay\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In a corner of the gallery black pods with white filaments were set to form a ladder to heaven.

Mirna produced this installation last year. She was mourning her mother and at the same time opening an art gallery, a powerful coincidence in her life: again life and death, white and black, fullness and emptiness.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving the gallery was not easy. Somehow Mirna\u2019s powerful works seemed to call me back, inviting me to a deeper understanding. So many vital questions in her objects, so many gifts to unwrap.<br \/>\nThanks, Mirna.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Mirna Manni<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mirna was born in Tuscania, where she lives. She started out as a painter, then she started sculpting. Eager to learn and experiment, she used many techniques and materials and explored different art forms, finally finding in clay the ideal medium for her self-expression.<a title=\"Italian Ceramics - &quot;Genesi&quot; by Mirna Manni\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-Genesi-2-web.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2669\" style=\"margin: 8px;\" title=\"Italian Ceramics - &quot;Genesi&quot; by Mirna Manni\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-Genesi-2-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-Genesi-2-web.jpg 602w, https:\/\/www.thatsarte.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/MirtaManni-Genesi-2-web-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn her own worlds \u201cClay and I are emotionally tuned. Clay is the mirror of my energy and its molding is a magic process\u201d. Mirna has been using different techniques, raku, terra sigillata, engobe, always achieving a stunning technical perfection.<\/p>\n<p>She is the co-founder of \u201cI Magazzini della Lupa\u201d, an art gallery and cultural center open to any form of contemporary art, from theatrical projects to applied arts, from dance to painting performances. A great place for young as well as established artists to show their work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<h3>Incontro con l\u2019artista: Mirna Manni<\/h3>\n<p>Ho incontrato Mirna Manni lo scorso anno, a Tuscania. Ero l\u00e0 per una mostra d\u2019arte e mi fu presentata come una delle fondatrici della galleria e una artista ceramista molto brava. Questo naturalmente ha fatto scattare il mio interesse&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Chiacchierare del pi\u00f9 e del meno non mi \u00e8 congeniale, quindi le chiesi subito informazioni sui suoi lavori. Vidi i suoi occhi illuminarsi e la donna seria e composta che avevo di fronte tramutarsi in Mirna l\u2019artista, che mi ha conquistato con la sua contagiosa passione per l\u2019argilla e le sue mirabili conoscenza tecniche.<\/p>\n<p>In seguito Mirna mi ha inviato foto dei suoi lavori. Assolutamente interessanti. Tuttavia avevo delle riserve di principio nello scrivere di un artista senza aver visto le sue opere da vivo, cosa che tra l\u2019altro desideravo moltissimo. Grande \u00e8 stata quindi la mia gioia quando ho saputo di delle sua imminente mostra a Tuscania.<\/p>\n<p>Sono arrivata tra i primi all\u2019inaugurazione. Mirna era gi\u00e0 presa da alcuni ospiti e questo mi ha dato l\u2019opportunit\u00e0 di guardare i suoi lavori senza nessuna preparazione, assaporandone il forte impatto emotivo e la grande forza formale.<\/p>\n<p>Pi\u00f9 tardi Mirna mi ha raggiunto e, delicatamente, pesando le parole, mi ha condotto nel suo mondo creativo, spiegandomi come la sua ricerca formale e tecnica si sia incentrata sulla rappresentazione del mistero della nascita e del continuo fluire della vita.<br \/>\nScavando nella memoria, analizzando la sua personale stratificazione di gioie e dolori, di dubbi consci ed inconsci, di domande irrisolte Mirna \u00e8 riuscita a oggettivarli nelle sue sculture, simboli di un\u2019anima \u2013 la sua anima, e la nostra \u2013 che si libera dei suoi vincoli terreni solo per comprenderli meglio.<\/p>\n<p>Il filo conduttore del suo lavoro \u00e8 la vita, la sua fragilit\u00e0, la sua sacra bellezza, e, per pura conseguenza, la morte. Le sue forme, ispirate dalla natura, sono sempre aperte per lasciare fluire la vita. Sembrano pronte all\u2019ineluttabilit\u00e0 dell\u2019evolversi, abbracciando un destino che presentono e che sono felici di accogliere.<\/p>\n<p>All\u2019entrata della galleria d\u2019arte c\u2019era una nuvola di bozzoli, affascinanti della loro opalescenza. Pi\u00f9 avanti grandi semi sparsi sul muro, simboli positivi di un respiro nuovo e vitale.<\/p>\n<p>Al centro della sala, sul pavimento, nove scatole contenevano ciascuna una maschera nera e una mucchietto ordinato di lettere, sottilissimi fogli in paperclay sui quali l\u2019artista ha minuziosamente inciso pensieri, ricordi, storie \u2026 briciole dallo spazio di una vita su questa terra.<\/p>\n<p>Insieme a molti altri visitatori ho sostato a lungo di fronte ad una superba installazione dal nome evocativo \u201cCos\u00ec filano le Parche\u201d. Nell\u2019Antica Grecia le tre Parche rappresentavano il Destino: Cloto filava lo stame della vita,\u00a0 Lachesi lo svolgeva sul fuso e Atropo lo recideva.<br \/>\nNell\u2019opera di Mirna grandi forme rigonfie di alito vitale pendevano dal soffitto appese a sottilissimi fili. Altre, anche loro appese, avevano perso la loro pienezza e ciondolavano spente. In terra, adagiate su uno strato di terra fragrante altre forme ormai sgonfie, giacevano morbidamente. Non mi vergogno di dire che ho dovuto toccarle per essere sicura che fossero di ceramica, tanto la loro trama e la morbidezza della forma richiamava alla mente la filatura delle Parche\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In un angolo della sala, baccelli neri con filamenti bianchi erano disposti a formare una scala verso il cielo. Ai piedi della scala poveri resti umani, a simboleggiare il passaggio dell\u2019anima dei morti dalla sepoltura all\u2019aldil\u00e0 come lo avevano narrato Pitagora e i suoi seguaci.<br \/>\nMirna ha creato questa opera lo scorso anno, in un momento molto importante della sua vita, divisa tra la perdita della madre e la nascita della galleria d\u2019arte. Una coincidenza potente, pregna di vita e di morte, di bianco e nero, di pienezza e di vuoto.<\/p>\n<p>Lasciare la mostra non \u00e8 stato facile. In qualche modo il lavoro di Mirna sembrava invitarmi a restare per capire di pi\u00f9 e pi\u00f9 profondamente. Cos\u00ec tanti quesiti vitali animano le sue opere, cos\u00ec tanti regali da scartare. Grazie, Mirna.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cenni biografici \u2013 da un testo dell\u2019artista<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vivo e lavoro a Tuscania, dove sono nata il 29 gennaio 1958. Esordisco artisticamente come pittrice per poi preferire la scultura ed ho esposto in mostre personali e collettive tra Orvieto,Tuscania, Roma, Varese, Tarquinia, Viterbo, Soriano nel Cimino, Bracciano, in luoghi pubblici e privati. Ho condiviso per anni un progetto all\u2019interno di un gruppo con il quale ho sviluppato molteplici esperienze creative. Nella mia individuale ricerca, ho trovato nell\u2019argilla la materia pi\u00f9 affine per la realizzazione dei miei lavori. C\u2019\u00e8 subito stata una sorta di sintonia emotiva con essa; \u00e8 specchio della\u00a0 mia energia e lavorarla \u00e8 sempre un processo magico. Ho frequentato corsi di ceramica e ceramica raku, approfondendo questo mio interesse, tecniche e procedure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met Mirna Manni last year, in Tuscania.
