Everything that happens in this life can be read by observing the traces left behind by situations, words, and attitudes. All of these leave behind a writing, a rota. It could be a thread that unwinds from one end to the other and alongside another and another. It is a perpetual flow. All this movement can be imagined with straight lines, circular or other dynamic lines with a richness of colours, shapes, and textures.
Maria Stamati began her narratives from traces and left a big ball of thread to tell its journey through the materiality of the painting canvas or a cloth. She embarked on a journey with no final destination, only short stops from one work to another. What matters for Maria Stamati is the trace left behind by the experience of the journey. This is precisely what reveals the destination. The destination you create with your imagination.
