Angela Cavalieri explores the art of writing in visual form. In her large-scale hand printed linocuts, literary, religious and historical narratives eventually manifest as image. Angela’s inspiration derives from her migrant family background and it is this intimate and personal connection that Angela uses to play with the ideas and architectures of language, storytelling and culture.
‘Canzone – music as storytelling’, is a culmination of Cavalieri’s five-year exploration of Monteverdi’s madrigals, developed during a recent residency at La Scuola Grafica Internationale in Venice, a Creative Fellowship at the State Library of Victoria and a previous commission from the Arts Centre Melbourne.
