INSECTOS ÚTEROS (Insects Uterus in Spanish) are epoxy sculptures with shape of bugs, containing fetus or organs.
It is a small serie of 4 unique pieces. They were elaborated for a special exhibition called BioSintetizArte, where the artist was invited to interprete possible future scenarios in science. She proposed Insects as incubators able to grow an organ or a living creature.
It is also part of a larger project called Unconventional Beauty, where the artist is interested in working with fantastic creatures and deformed anatomies in order to find the fascination and the tenderness in the ugly.
She looks for an anti-classical esthetics, more interested in what can shock and call the attention. Francesca is experimenting with materials and with forms, and this is her very firs collection as a sculptor.
Her influences in this period are fantastic movies and literature, Sci-Fi, cyberpunk, filmmakers as Lynch, Cronenberg and Swankmayer. She is interested in dreams as a way to cut off rationality from choices.
