The Perfect Union
Every year in the coldest weeks of the winter season, strange sculptures begin to appear in the fields all over the island. It is the moment for grafting.
Wild olive trees grow throughout the island and they produce perfectly tiny olives with a thin and bitter skin. However, though the oil from wild olives is supposedly superior to that of domesticated varieties, the yield is much, much lower. And so the grafting game begins.

Elements Coatrack

Fratelli Argiolas

Valentina’s work tends to access some part of the unconscious, a side of herself and humanity that surfaces only indirectly. With Elements, she was guided by the rural, pastoral aspect of Sardinia in which the hand of the farmer and the shepherd have shaped the landscape so thoroughly as to seem an inextricable part of it. The object itself - the coatrack made of iron tubes - is simple and utilitarian; however, the added elements go beyond decoration. A rock, a sphere, a wave that imitates a cactus, dulled spines, a shell, a rustic ladder: all natural extrusions that seem to grow out of the structure itself. The custom finish is inspired by the colors of the pink salt flats of Sant'Antioco.
