description: Mary Caponegro's latest exploration of narrative possibilities takes as a point of departure five arresting images from Italian art and a Verrocchio painting, an Etruscan tomb, a Roman mosaic, a Renaissance manuscript and a Tombola board - five images that give rise to voices haunted by desire, doubt and death.Within these fictional meditations on Antiquity, the Renaissance, and contemporary life, she creates a tension between spirituality and materiality, between nature and culture, leveling artifice to blood and bone, as the first stage of a complex metamorphosis.
