Locatelli’s work primarily concerns the representation of landscapes in drawing. She seek for it to convey a multidisciplinary character, by combining different artistic disciplines during its creation and presentation. Her works can be presented through installative, sculptural, pictorial or interactive means, or even conceived through a collaborative approach with artists from different disciplines. She start by observing nature, which she then document in small drawings in my notebooks. Live drawing is an essential step in accurately capturing a moment and maintaining a sincere and affectionate relationship with one’s environment. Fishing, hiking and foraging, are ways to have a sensitive relationship with nature, in turn allowing one to be successful in representing it.
