Orinoco

It has been difficult to photograph this work because the dark

tones are very, very rich and intense, while the lighter ones

are almost diaphanous. Be sure to click on each photo to enlarge

it and that might help get a better feeling for the piece.

The inspiration is, again, the wild landscape of Venezuela

along the shores of the mighty Orinoco River.

39"h by 49"w

The idea for this piece is my own recollection of trips to the

jungle in Venezuela and canoe rides along the Orinoco River;

its waters are clear but the iron ore deposits of the area color

the bottom sand and the surrounding shores.

I made a large piece of felt from scratch using some lovely

Merino wool that I hand-dyed;  other sections were also

hand-dyed using rust shavings.

Salto Angel (Angel Falls)

27"h by 31"w

The tallest waterfall in the world, Salto Angel or Angel Falls,

is located in Venezuela's jungle. I have explored it by canoe

and on foot and these are the colors of that wild landscape -- the

roaring foam rising high above the tree-tops, framing the spectacular view.

Lampada Osram di fronte alla stazione

giornali, cartoline

le insegne, le reclames

la fila di tassi

la calca sopra i tram

annodi il tuo foulard

le otto e dieci ...

Grazie dei bei ricordi, Claudio Baglioni!
