Beatrice Caracciolo (born in 1955 in Italy) experiments with a variety of materials, starting with charcoal drawings in which collaged elements come to the fore. Her work is evocative of areas of fluctuation between solid and fluid states of matter, a way of declaring her obsession with the quasi-alchemical processes. Her work is concerned with ways to depict displacements of energy.
