Penone Giuseppe

Guiseppe’s earliest works made use of unconventional materials such as wood, stone, clay and soil and were often site-specific; many of his earliest works were situated in the woodland local to his hometown of Piedmont- this series of work was titled Alpi Marittime.
 

Thoughts of Leaves is also notable among the works that exemplify his interest in nature and our place alongside it; this piece draws comparisons between the traces left by the hands of the artist and the weathering and erosion of plants and minerals by the natural elements.
