Laudes Regiae, The Celata - Sculptures
Featured In Hotel Murano, Tacoma, WA
$ On Inquiry
Celata is part of the Provenance Collection at the Hotel Murano.
The blown glass sculpture, Celata, forms the base of the Laudes Regiae installation project, conceived for the ex Convento dei SS. Cosma e Damiano on the Giudecca Island (Venice). The work was produced using a specifically designed mold of the so-called Elmo di Attila, a 14th century sparrow-beaked celata belonging to the Armeria Collection in the Doge’s Palace in Venice. The helmet, due to its radically essential, almost primitive, formal enunciation, is interpreted as a trans-cultural and trans-epochal image and, therefore used as a metaphor for repeating returns or unchanging conditions, beyond the times and places of historic advance.
