Ripetizione is a vivid example of how Isabella Ducrot breathes new life into the fabrics she collected during her travels; by removing them from their places of origin, she instills in them a new aesthetic meaning. Like in many of her works from the Arazzi series, the fabrics take the shape of elegant women’s gowns to express the artist’s feminine poetics. Pattern is also an element of fascination in Ducrot’s artistic practice, and these works represent her attempt at giving voice and scale to patterns of all kind.
