statement:
Morandini’s practice uses electronics, textiles, sound, and sculpture to explore the materials and energies that underpin our current technological era. Her recent artworks take ‘DIY electronics’ to the extreme, using a minimal collection of substances such as fabric, rocks, salt, and minerals to create electrical circuits. From finely sewn reproductions of digital schematics, to sounds of lightning emanating from crystal speakers, her work seeks to interrogate and reimagine the unseen and unheard constituents of modern technology.
