GUZZI NORMALE

A study in movement, restraint and mechanical memory.

The Moto Guzzi Normale is held here not as a fixed object, but as something passing through time. Its structure remains recognisable while lines of motion, interruption and layered gesture begin to dissolve the machine into rhythm.

Allowing instinct, speed and omission to become part of the image. Mechanical detail emerges and disappears, while areas of untouched paper create space for the viewer to complete what is left unresolved.

The result sits between observation and memory: a machine remembered as much as seen.

Old iron gathers speed
Green lines loosen into air
Memory moves on
