a hand and a leaf a branch and an arm a foot a twisting root

large horizons closing in circling back

doubling distances touching in a fold

a gush of wind sweeping the grass ants like pearls

eyes like dew forming at dawn skin as soil

soil as felt on fingertips

composting worlds and sensible spores

carrier of more

bodies belonging to rivers

to moving waters flowing and slowly becoming

unmade undone and one at once

Alina Vergnano (b.Torino, 1989) is an Italian artist based in Oslo. She holds an MFA from the Art Academy in Bergen. With the line as a point of departure, she explores concepts of fluidity, time, and entanglement, working at the intersection of drawing, painting, and poetry. Recent exhibitions include LNM, Oslo; Sixi Museum, Nanjing; Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen; JVDW, Dusseldorf; MLAG, Bergen; Roman Road, London, and MELK, Oslo, among others.

Billedkunstnernes Vederlagsfond supports the exhibition. Many thanks to Tequila Bar Fnky Mnky.
