Light, Landscape, and What Comes Next

From the density and introspection of London, ESCLUSSO moves toward a more open and atmospheric landscape. The shift to Puglia marks not only a change in geography, but a reorientation of the practice—toward light, space, and a slower, more intuitive rhythm.

Here, the surrounding environment begins to play a more direct role. Expansive horizons, sun-bleached tones, and organic textures influence the work in quieter, less controlled ways. The intensity of earlier explorations softens, allowing for a broader dialogue between object and setting. Form remains central, but begins to exist in relation to something larger.

This phase is less about refinement, and more about expansion. The studio’s language, developed over decades, starts to extend beyond the singular object—opening toward spatial thinking, atmosphere, and context. The candle remains a core element, yet it becomes part of a wider composition rather than a self-contained piece.

Within this evolving landscape, the early foundations of the Art Farm Project begin to take shape. Conceived as an ongoing exploration, it considers the relationship between sculpture, land, and living space—where objects, environment, and experience intersect. Rather than a defined project, it exists as a direction: something growing gradually, shaped by place and time.

Puglia, in this sense, is not a conclusion, but a beginning. A space where the practice expands outward, becoming less fixed and more responsive. What emerges from here remains intentionally open—guided by light, material, and the unfolding nature of the work itself.
