Her [chicken-wire sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wire-mesh) have no internal structure. The lack of internal support adds to the sense of magic in her work. The 3D forms are [experiments in color and light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible). The result is an enhanced sense of depth on what is essentially a transparent material. The Italian-born artist lives and works in London where her solo show at Fat Galerie is running through the 21st of March. **Implications** - Bendetta Mori Ubaldini is in love with the process of creating [three dimensional pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series). Bendetta Mori Ubaldini likes to use parts of her imagination that would otherwise go untapped. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Chicken-wire Art:** There is an opportunity for artists to explore the possibilities of creating 3D art with chicken wire, as it is a versatile, sturdy, and transparent material. - **Imaginative Sculptures:** Sculptors can take inspiration from Bendetta Mori Ubaldini's work to create imaginative and magical sculptures with a sense of depth. - **Transparency Experimentation:** There is an opportunity for artists to experiment with the use of transparency in their creations, as it can enhance the sense of depth and intrigue in the art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** The art industry can embrace the trend of using chicken wire as a raw material for creating sculptures, resulting in unique and magical art pieces. - **Sculpture:** The sculpture industry can take inspiration from the imaginative and depth-filled works of Bendetta Mori Ubaldini to create more innovative sculptures. - **Interior Design:** There is an opportunity for interior designers to incorporate the transparent and imaginative chicken-wire sculptures as decorative pieces for homes, offices, and other spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Giant Chicken-Like Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heir-and-a-spare.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Performance Art Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop.md) - [Sculptural Mixed-Media Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes.md) - [Whimsical Spirit Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima.md) - [3D-Printed Ethereal Floating Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prairie-cord.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md)
