My Windows on Capri Series is among the first efforts on Capri to convert materials in works of art. I take windows, doors from homes being renovated, lids from gas tanks, wood ovens, wells, etc. By giving each the opportunity to recall its origins, I go further than keeping it alive: I give it a voice to recount the atmosphere and surroundings of when each was in use.
		I make a strong attempt to keep the material exactly as I find it. However, depending on its state of decay, I restore it by glueing, hammering it together and treating it with specific, environment safe, resins. During this phase, I study it in all its details to choose where to create a painted representation. Finally, in the total respect of the material, I paint a scene which seals in time the place where I found the material and the purpose it served.
