THE
WORLD OF INTERIORS
October 2008
Two postcard collages by Gracia created for The World of Interiors
magazine to accompany an article by Alistair McAlpine about the Museo
Nazionale Archeologico di Taranto in Puglia, Italy; a
museum that houses small figures carved from stone and other treasures
from long ago.
"Most of the objects on show are small and
all the more impressive for their diminutive size. Among the most remarkable
are nutcrackers in the form of a pair of hands attached to arms ringed
with gold bracelets; a crystal pendant mounted in gold, carved as a
pomegranate; and a silver box in the shape of a Pecten shell, whose
hinged cover has a raised figure of a goddess riding a seahorse, partly
gilded, on its front and a rear view of the same subject on the back."
