DescriptionEnio
Iommi explores the autonomy of line in space by combining industrial materials with
concrete structures. In this sculpture, he uses steel wire to draw two
contrasting lines: one that softly bends and curves into three open loops, and
one that maintains a more rectilinear configuration. As the viewer walks around
the work, the perceived interaction of these elements constantly changes, producing
multiple virtual configurations from various angles and perspectives.
