The threads of destiny

The exhibition The threads of destinyartist's solo exhibition Theodolinda Caorlinrepresents an intense journey into the world of thecontemporary textile artin which the thread becomes a metaphor for life and destiny. Hosted at the Como Silk MuseumThe exhibition is divided into 28 works divided into two sections: one abstractfocused on universal concepts such as time, threshold e destinyand one notionaldominated by symbolic and human presences. Prominent among these is the cycle "7+1 Capital Vices", which includes an added figure - the Fear - understood as a primary existential condition.

Edited by Elena Bermond des Ambrois, Chiara Ghizzoni e Dina Pierallinithe exhibition emphasises the importance of textiles as language of memory e register of inner time. Caorlin's works intertwine biography and abstractionallowing visitors to recognise their own personal narrative. The mythological reference to the Moire - Cloto, Lachesi and Atropo - emphasises the symbolic power of the thread, guardian of a destiny that transcends even the gods.
