It´s been a long time since I have been writing about Bella per Forza, many things happened not least the Covid lockdowns.
Here is a picture of the remains after the printing in Caccuri (the very first station of the project), the cloth underlying the printing action.
I loved it and kept it.

And then one winter, as is a habit in fairytales, I took a piece of cloth out of the drawer and started to embroider on it. At first almost without a clear intention. It was a bit like the colours and half visible forms, fading and overlaid needed something to wake them from their sleepy existence.

Here you can see me embroidering in Cairo airport, my flight was delayed and since the winter day I started to work on the left over cloth I take them with me wherever I go.

incredible stories appear, and I am the magician who is able to unravel and disclose all those images that unnumerous hands have printed on the surface.

I also kept and dried some of the potato stamps but what I will make out of them is not totally sure yet.

But the cloth is almost finished seven wallhangings I want to make and up to now I have finished five.
