Maria Ceppi
Maria Ceppi (b. 1963, Visp, CH) lives and works in Valais, CH. The broad repertoire of her artistic production ranges from small-format works on paper to monumental installations and sculptures. She deals with the poetry of everyday life, which she discovers in the seemingly insignificant tools, devices and materials with which we surround ourselves. These objects become the heroes of stories and - disassembled and combined with other elements - are brought together in astonishing new constellations. Although seemingly purposeless and alienated, these objects retain a knowledge and memory of their various origins while creating possibilities for new narratives of the uncanny and absurd. In their hybridity, they reveal an autonomous sculptural presence.
