Critical text by Evagoras Vanezis

Alice Capelli delves into the primordial and fragile nature of clay to create chains, which evolve into crawling bodies of suspended movement- symbols of transformation and change. As she works, the chains embody the tension between form and material, offering a powerful metaphor for processes of movement and stillness, of resistance and growth.
Capelli invites the audience to engage in the creative journey, encouraging them to reflect on the space that emerges when the material's failure to fully transform into its intended depiction becomes clear. This moment of 'imperfection' opens up a dialogue about the limitations of materials and the potential they hold, while also highlighting the beauty found in the gaps between intention and outcome.
