The strength behind Florentine Sculptor Silvana Cenci's soaring steel sculptures and gleaming wall reliefs is high powered explosives.
"Dangerous? Oh, my goodness yes! But I still have all my fingers, no?”

 “I can now create my sculpture as soon as I have planned it.”

“It is simultaneously conception and birth,
and if I am not pleased with the result,
well then,
I do not have to reject months of labor.”
