With a couple of family menbers, I recently visited a fibreart exhibition, “Dados o El Azar Inexistiente” roughly translated as “Dice or Non-exhistent Chance” There are various ways you could look at this exhibition, and though I at first came down on the side of ‘textile art’ then mentally modified that to ‘fibreart’, I eventually conceded ‘sculpture ‘ is the best descriptor of this exciting exhibition.

The curator’s statement, here roughly translated: “These linear works awaken a stripped and questioning surprise, naked in volume, variegated and intricate, formed into small compact forms lodged in the vortex and sustained like dice. Muddy, this linear hair, nervous but exuting, allows the entirety of its textile structure to be transparent, calm in the meticulous conception of its chromatic warp. The shadows, pilgrim ghostly lines, displaced feedingly, according to a luminous source mirrored in its distortion, complete and complement the original form in its colorful resolution, fiery, shadowy always magnetic. These fictitious oscillating lines are essentialized, imprecisely thinned, contrasted with tentacular sharpness with swaying cords of intensity and clear chromaticism. The game of shadows multiplies the lines, inciting the imagination to subjective and silent associations.” is a fairly verbose comment on the exhibition as a whole, and yet adds nothing more to my own exciting interpretation I gave it as I carefully considered each section of the exhibition. The works were not indivually named, because in the words of Cardarelli to me in correspondence, he wants them to be viewed as one whole, all parts of the same vision.
