Text by Arnaldo Pomodoro from La Frontiera del Primo Foglio No. 3

I refer to the great graphic works that I have entitled "Dreams" (whether they are placed horizontally, as orbits, or vertically as figure-bodies): and in them, I believe both the suggestions of the cuttlebone are deposited, with its extraordinary value elementary and pure (which interested the great poet Eugenio Montale so much in XNUMX), both the imagery that is given to the surface of the sea, from its motion, from its beach - and other reasons, the dress, the reception of light, the shell itself as a shield, the absolute icon of a "mantle", the fantastic projection of the mind in sleep.
