the milanese sculptor benedetta mori ubaldini has been living and working from 1991 in london. in italy she trained as a picture restorer and conservator, but was not creatively satisfied with it. in 1994 she decided to enroll at the middlesex university of london, obtaining a bachelor in fine arts. ‘what I love is creating three dimensional pictures. my balloon pieces are what I fondly call - ugly art - they deal humourously with sexuality, body issues and everyday life. the pieces I do with chicken wire come from a childlike side of my imagination. the magical power of transparency is capable of giving each piece the lightness of an apparition, a ghostlike quality, like a trance from memory.’ benedetta’s rabbits have been featured in the 2004 issue of the ‘perpetual design calendar’ published by designboom and Du Pont http://www.designboom.com/calendar04.html --- more designboom features of benedetta mori ubaldini http://www.designboom.com/closeup/sat_pages/ubldini.html http://www.designboom.com/snapshots/milan_02/moriubaldini.html --- ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------	rats and babies trophies little red riding hood and wolves pigs, trees, birds and a bear giraffe, clouds and birds row of shoes (balloonwork) self portrait (balloonwork) benedetta with rabbit
