Mothers Day is approaching. Four mothers (including our Marika!) give us their thoughts on what it means to be a mother.

Federica Reale is a Genovese artist who now lives in Rome. She tells us her story and how she uses it in her art.

Federica conducts art workshops for children and adults. Participants use paper, often recycled, to create highly personal books.

Pupazzo is the word for "doll," but Federica has transformed it (as she likes to do with words) into pupezza because pezzo means "piece," and as you will see, she uses pieces or scraps to make these dolls. Federica uses these rag/paper dolls as a means for looking deeper inside herself, at the dark as well as the light parts. It is part of a kind of therapy she uses to help others discover hidden areas inside themselves, by means of creative imagination.
