Playfield no.6 (2024) Original Relief by Francesca Iannaccone

Abstract wood and paper collage exploring the juxtaposition between delicacy and strength.


Playfield began as a simple tessellation idea, confined within a square frame in a very limited colour palette. I enjoyed shifting the shapes around like a sliding tile puzzle, but after a while they began to feel too boxed in. I started loosening them, giving them space to breathe, adding different shapes with curved edges instead of just rigid lines and paper - I love the translucency and delicacy of it, the shadows it casts - and I started to see what they might become.

I think of them as little gems, perfect for small spaces.
