Aurora Passero:
Solid Blossom

The exhibition, titled "Solid Blossom," comprises a series of new monumental textile works created using woven and dyed nylon, wool, and plaster. Drawing inspiration from a range of cultural forms, including popular and underground culture, craftsmanship, ethnology, and art history, Passero constructs spatial compositions within an abstract visual language.

The space is maximally utilized through the dimensions of the works, and the textiles are scaled and adapted to the two different ceiling heights. Sculptural considerations such as size, form, negative space, distance, and rhythm become relevant within these textile pieces. Some works feature few weft threads and are perceived as delicate and dissolvable, while others are tightly woven with a heavier and more "fleshy" character. By combining rectangular painterly panels mounted on or close to the walls with more sculptural and freely formed works, Passero establishes distinct dynamic installations at the intersection of textiles, painting, and sculpture.

Passero explores elements of transformation, dynamics, and change in her artwork, establishing a relationship with the viewer's sensory experience. Her works embody a finely tuned presence that balances nature and culture, chance and structure, creating a tension between solidity and fragility. The "Solid" pieces represent the concrete and tangible, while the "Blossom" pieces convey growth and transformation.
