"...I saw a picture of them in a catalogue. It's one of those cheap passport photos, made in the automatic machines on the street. It shows a pair of heads competing for the little space available and they both look determined straight ahead, to the hidden focus: "she" in front, "he" partially hidden behind her; "she" appears slightly out of focus in order to focalize "him", as a good mother does with her handsome son; "he" more "pastore" (= shepherd) - neapolitan urchin who hides behind "her", more "bovina" (= cow) of the Po Valley.
Partners in the names, partners in art, partners in business: partners of iron, oxide and stoneware; together they seem to build a pillar in the contemporary experimentation in ceramics, where "she" is the iron of the pillar, "he" the stoneware, both with oxides and wood, as in many of the their works".
(Eduardo Alamaro - 1996)
