STILL POINT
Pastine Projects is pleased to present Still Point, a new series of drawings and sculptures by Sheila Ghidini. This body of work marks a quiet yet decisive evolution in Ghidini’s practice—extending her long-standing engagement with negative space into a more nuanced meditation on the tensions between movement and stillness, control and chance.
Ghidini’s work has long been shaped by her fascination with structure and the geometry of architecture. Her early practice focused on disassembling and reconstructing common chairs, a process that allowed her to explore new perspectives—particularly the interplay of void and form.
In Still Point, she draws on the formal purity of elemental shapes—squares and circles—to construct compositions that balance precision with unpredictability. These opposing forces generate a deliberate tension, one that Ghidini embraces as both a visual strategy and a reflection of the paradoxes embedded in everyday experience.
"At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered, Neither movement from nor towards, Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance." Four Quartets, T.S. Eliot
