Giancarlo Sciannella was born in Castelli, a town of the Abruzzi region renownedfor its ceramics, and spent his childhood there among the flames of its ever-activeovens, shapeless clay and coloured enamels, often accompanied by his grandfather,an expert potter. It was thus quite natural for the young Sciannella to devote his lifeto ceramics, the working of earth and fire. From the outset, his attention focusedmore on material than form. It was in the 1980s that he introduced a sort of hybridization with the insertion of other materials. The Pendulum, which ideally measures time with its movement, is one of his first attempts at orderly arrangement of the physical surface, divided into geometric sections that separate and harmonizethe terracotta with inserts of iron, wood and gold.
