Pictures from Italy is one of Charles Dickens earlier works, a fantastic and whimsical foray into the twin worlds of travel and the imagination. Inspired by his words, Italian artist Livia Signorini plays with Dickens sense of place, memory and politics. More than illustrating Pictures from Italy, my project was more in the nature of a dialogue with the text of Charles Dickens, a contemporary Italian artists engagement with the places and themes he touches on. Collage is one of my mediums, and I have tried to create images that resonate from his words, include details he mentioned, but are layered with my own associations of place, time and travel-Livia Signorini.
