Catalogue Note
"La variante delle tele ritorte su se stesse immette nella piega una sequenza o uno spartito di rilievi o di estroflessioni che sembrano aprirsi la strada dal grembo della fenditura, quasi volessero stabilire un ordine interno.[...] siamo all'annuncio dell'intervento minimo che dovrà prendere campo sulla superficie amorfa della tela per arrivare a organizzarle secondo sequenze ritmiche."
(Germano Celant in Dietro il quadro: Enrico Castellani, Milano 2001)
