Studiopepe, Out of the blue

This collection, comprising eight objects, is the result of a Studiopepe study on the relationship between form, light, and color, utilizing ceramics and cyanotype as the medium.

The collection of sculptures investigates the interplay between sunlight and the objects’ surfaces through the study of form. The photographic process behind the cyanotype renders visible this mutable, ever-changing relationship (the prefix “cyano”- is derived from the ancient Greek adjective “kýanos”, meaning dark blue). On a literal interpretation, the idiom suggests that something “comes out of the blue,” and, in the context of this study, the color blue assumes its own physical shape, “coming forth” precisely out of the blue.

Out of the Blue is an idiomatic expression that describes an unexpected event. In this phrase, the term “blue” refers to the sky from which something unexpected might “emerge” all of a sudden.

“All of a sudden.
A passing fade.
Fickle. Flickering. Reacting.
Blueprint.
Shadow-play. Lightning-speed.
Hide & seek.
Still.”

— Angelo Flaccavento
