Carla Ferriroli is the first artist invited in 2026 by the Association of Friends of the Calcographic Atelier.
An artist from Ticino who has been developing and refining a view of her own territory for years, Carla Ferriroli tirelessly travels through the alpine orographic reality of her Blenio Valley, which she then reworks through drawing, watercolor and especially the graphic techniques of intaglio, woodcut and lithography.
The print "Stratigraphy," which gives the exhibition its title, evokes the visual experience of transformation over time, peculiar to geological processes but also to the technical processes of intaglio, which the artist has deepened in recent years through several stays abroad.
Other paths of this "geological exploration" are offered in the exhibition, along with a series of artist's books inspired by prose, poems and annotations by Swiss writers.
