Tianyou Virginia Russolo William

Virginia was born in Italy in 1995. She is interested in the individual and collective memory of the places she has lived in; Italy, the United States, Japan, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. By reflecting on past and imaginary experiences she chases the instability of identity.

Morning laps the sound with light

its waters chewing silt in the crucible murk

salt in the middle

and rise to crystalline mountains

which now begin to break

on sleek backs

a rising angel quake

the sleek back seals

air clouding at the snout

race across the sound

a braid of grey bodies

calling shore

William Rees on 'Pelt' by Virginia Russolo
