The art of ceramics is so persuasive that it constitutes a veritable trap for whoever practices it. One is always tempted to maintain the porousness and the hairline cracks that occur, the lumps in the paste, to emphasize the occasional veining, the streaks left by the hands, the finger prints, the tears and lacerations that […]
After a first experience with painting, of post-cubist imprint at the beginning and then informal, the Swiss Italian artist experimented the relations between picture, writing, and natural elements, developing collages and assemblages that fit in visual poetry research. Handwritten sheets bounded with cotton thread and leaves, music scores positioned within seeds, books in cages or […]

The key piece of art Campionario (1979) shows the multiple plastic-visual possibilities of a material that Prunas makes her medium of choice: nylon tights, an industrial product and an everyday life item at the same time.
