An Introduction to Italy’s Favorite Anti-Minimalist

It is perhaps ironic that Paola Navone should release a book entitled Tham ma da, a Thai word meaning "ordinary."

But it is a fitting description of how she can take a humble material and multiply it so that the effect is something much, much greater.
