Natalya Marconini Falconer – MA/MFA
My practice emerges from gaps in familial and regional memories of southern Italy. Moving across sculpture, installation, writing and sound, I create layered narratives that attempt to hold multiple entangled lived experiences of Calabria and Sicily. My work often begins from the fallout of material from the cycles of industrialisation, labour practices, geophysical events, and migration. In tracing what has been left behind, whether forcibly or (un-)intentionally, the work centres itself around material's 'timekeeping' potential: its ability to hold memory and sensation when the body falters to do so.
